Hōgaku kyōka kōkyōshū ["The sun collection of donated kyōka"]

Garyōen, Umemaro [selections by]; Go [Totoya], Hokkei, Aoigaoka, Keisei [illustrated by]. 

[Edo (Tōkyō)?]: Shunyūtei, Bunsei 13 [1830]. 

A compilation of kyōka by various poets selected (or judged) by Garyōen Umemaro (1793-1859?), illustrated with a frontispiece by Totoya Hokkei (1780-1850), one of Hokusai's first pupils. The floral ornaments surrounding votive tablets on the first twelve leaves seem to have been provided by Aoigaoka Keisei (active 1818-1844), Hokkei's student. The book was produced by and for the Hanazono-ren circle of kyōka poetry enthusiasts headed by Garyōen, which several years earlier commissioned Hokkei to design illustrations for surimono prints. The meetings the poems for this book were collected at were arranged by Ikenoya Masumi, Kamenoya Chōnen (or Nagatoshi), and Hinokien Umeaki (1793-1859, studied under Garyōen). A scarce collaboration between Hokkei and Keisei also offering information on the core members of the Hanazono-ren involved in the production of printed works.

One four-hole-bound (yotsutoji) volume, complete, on double leaves, traditional East Asian binding style (fukurotoji). Non-original wrappers with original mounted title panel (daisen). Wormholes, mostly repaired. Occasional light marks and stains. Housed in non-original custom slipcase. 12 illustrated leaves, 18 text leaves. 22 x 15.8 cm.
