Description
1834 Japanese Tale of Genji Haiku Shikibu Kunisada Illustrated Samurai Geisha
An interesting 19th century woodblock-print of A Country Genji. This book is a late edo era parody of Murasaki Shikibus “A Tale of Genji” by Ryuutei Tanehiko and illustrated by the famous artist Utagawa Kunisada. This parody shifted the period to the Muromachi period with haiku poetry instead of waka poetry becoming one of the most popular gokan, literature that merged images with text.
This rare 1834 edition is written in a column handwritten format with furigana usage for easier reading. This edition contains excellent illustrations of samurai and courtesans throughout!
