[EHON - KANAZO^SHI]. KAMPAKU MONOGATARI. Also known as the JURAKU MONOGATARI. An early Edo-era kanazo^shi genre story, here based on the bloody history of the Regent. Bound three volumes in one, 17 sheets; 22 sheets; 14 sheets. 26.8 x 18.5 cm., with one original printed title label tipped on to the inner pastedown of the front cover. String-bound Japanese- style, fukuro-toji. A slip from the Japanese bookseller (1950's?) indicates this edition (a "new printing", i.e., shimpan) was done about 1687. The original edition is a great rarity, being done in moveable type in the 1620's. In any case there are six double page and twelve single page woodcuts in the vigorous style of the Yoshida Hambei school, though without his characteristic spikey foliage. Approximately one third of the book (including several illustrations) is supplied in manuscript - the original printed vesion being gone. One may assume that the manuscript portion was done early on, and would seem to have been done by one Ko^do^ Tokuchi. The work is signed and sealed by him. As such, this is a noble fragment, an interesting example. Sold with all faults...... Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
