- Scope & Content:
-
Author/compiler: Unknown.
Imprint: N.p., n.d. [Genna / Kan'ei period, c. 1620-40] . No colophon.
Description: 2 kan, 2 satsu, each in a chitsu case. (Maki 上) ff. 33; (maki 下) ff. 33. (上) 26.7 x 17.5 cm., (下) 26.1 × 17.8 cm. Fukurotoji.
Movable type. Printing frame 22 x 15.2 cm. No borders. No fishtail design on hanshin.
Hiragana-majiri text without furigana. 10 lines to page, 21-22 characters to line.
Original dark brown covers of maki 上 and front cover of maki 下. Back cover of maki 下, old paper but added at a later date. No title slips or gedai. Naidai: Kinō wa kyō no monogatari きのふハけふの物語. The jō 上 following naidai of maki 上 has been obliterated, thus giving the impression that the work is complete in 1 kan. Hashiragaki: Jō 上 (ge 下) +folio no.
Edition: 7 distinct movable type editions of this work are listed in Kokatsujiban no kenkyū (pp. 932-4), of which maki 下 of the present copy belongs to Type 4 (第四種本). No copy of maki 上 of this edition has survived in Japan, but there is a strong likelihood that maki 上 of the present copy (acquired separately from maki 下 in 1960) also belongs to the same Type 4 edition. In any case, both maki were printed from the same font of movable type and are markedly different from all other early movable type editions.
Contents: A collection of amusing tales, compiled c. early Genna period (i. e. after 1615). Sometimes classified as a kana-zōshi, but more properly described as a hanashi-bon 噺本.
