Nemuke-zamashi Hitori-tanoshimi Hitotsutose-bushi ["Hitotsutose Songs to Enjoy Alone and to Shake Off Sleepiness"]

[Satō, Tomochika (text by)?].

Sakata, [Yamagata?]: [Satō Tomochika?], [ca. late Edo period (1820-50s)?].

 

A hitotsutose counting song in twenty verses with strong Buddhist overtones. While the theme seems unusual, as counting songs were usually sold as light entertainment, this particular work may have played a pedagogical role. The author or publisher seems to have been a benefactor or chief mourner of a temple.

 

One volume, complete, on double leaves, fukurotoji style. Original wrappers, creased and worn, ink mark to lower. Occasional annotations over the text where the printing is faint. [4] leaves, including wrappers. 16.7 x 12.1 cm.
