001866Tokyo: T. Hasegawa. N.d circa 1903. Probably first edition. Unpaginated twelve folded-over leaves including cover. Larger format 7.5 by 5.25 inches or 19 by 13.5 cm. Probably the best tale ever built around toothpicks! A fairy tale of the supernatural retribution meted out to lazy women with a second shorter variant of the same story included as well. This copy has particularly crisp and bright color! Light soiling to covers and some minor waviness where fabric dinged by bottom edge. T. Hasegawa unknown
