347L: A Japanese Boy Turns Into a Peach

I am looking for a book from my childhood (1975-1985).  It had the most beautiful detailed pictures.  I remember each one like a painting of another word.   It’s about a Japanese prince …  He flies up to the gods.  Then I think there’s something about dragons … I think he turns into a peach and ends up flying over the land.

Not this book

The pictures were so beautiful.  I hope you can find it.

    Could it be Momotaro Peach Boy with illustrations by George Suyeoka? It certainly sounds similar to the legend of Momotaro.
