Shakuyakutei bunshū ["Collection of writings by Shakuyakutei"]

Shakuyakutei, [Nagane] [text by]; Goshintei, Mizaru, Takekuma'an, Futaki [proofread by]; Yanagawa, Shigenobu II [illustrated by].

[Japan]: Rikkaen Fusanaga [printing blocks owned by], Tenpō 5 [1834]. 

A collection of short prose pieces by the famed kyōka poet and occasional gesaku author Shakuyakutei Nagane (Kisanji II, 1767-1845), illustrated with three single-page and three double-page colour woodblock printed scenes by Yanagawa Shigenobu II. Shakuyakutei was a leader of poetry groups including the Sugawararen and a descendant of the artist and craftsman Hon'ami Kōetsu (1558-1637). The title panel notes that the book is the 'first series', and a 'second series' volume is known to have been published. The two series may have been published in conjunction with Shakuyakutei eisō kōryō-shū (1833).

"First series" volume only. One four-hole-bound (yotsutoji) volume, complete, on double leaves, traditional East Asian binding style (fukurotoji). Original wrappers worn, nibbles to lower opening corner continuous throughout volume, not affecting illustrations or text. Original mounted title panel (daisen) worn, with losses. Small sticker and ink inscription of ex-owner to lower wrapper. A few light marks internally. Corners slightly bumped. Housed in non-original card slipcase. 1, 2, 1, 31 leaves. 22.5 × 16 cm.
