188751661Tokyo æ±äº¬: Kyoshundo ä¹æ˜¥å ‚ 1887. First edition. Softcover. Very good. Quarto. 22 leaves double-sided fukuro-toji syle. Tan paper string-bound Asian-style wrappers. Black lettering in English on a white paper label pasted on the front cover.<br /> <br /> This scarce work intended primarily for an English-speaking readership in the West contains biographical text for 10 different Japanese historical and legendary figures. The text for each is accompanied by a beautiful Japanese woodblock-printed illustration in color ukiyo-e. The prints which total 10 double-page images throughout were created by four different Meiji-era woodblock artists and are captioned above bilingually in English and Japanese. Each print includes the artist's signature. The acclaimed artist Ogata Gekko 尾形月耕 1859 – 1920 created 4 prints "Yamato Takeru" "Wake no Kiyomaro" "Taira no Shigemori" and Saigo Takamori the prolific artist Toyohara Chikanobu 豊原周延 1838–1912 created 2 prints "Empress Jingu" and "Kato Kiyomasa" Mizuno Toshikata 水野年方 1866-1908 created 2 prints "Takenouchi no Sukune" and "Kusunoki Masashige" and an as yet unidentified fourth artist created the other 2 prints "Minamoto No Yoshiie" and "Hojo Tokimune". We believe that all images here were created specifically for the book and have found no other external examples or other references for them.<br /> <br /> The figures covered here are in order: Yamato Takeru Prince Ousu a semi-legendary prince of the Yamato dynasty - the legendary Empress Jingu - the legendary hero statesman and Shinto priest of the first century Takenouchi no Sukune - Wake no Kiyomaro 733–799 an important government official - Minamoto No Yoshiie 1039-1106 among the most acclaimed samurai in Japanese history - Taira no Shigemori 1138-1179 a samurai of the Taira clan during the Heiji Rebellion - Hojo Tokimune 1251-1284 ruler of Japan and leader of the Japanese forces against the Mongol Invasions of Japan - Kusunoki Masashige 1294-1336 an acclaimed samurai - Kato Kiyomasa 1562-1611 a famous daimyo of the Azuchi–Momoyama and Edo periods - famed samurai Saigo Takamori 1928-1877 who was one of the leaders of the Meiji Restoration.<br /> <br /> As stated in publisher's advertisement in English at the front of the book this is the first volume of what was intended to be larger series of 10 volumes 日本å¤ä»Šå家圖解 Nihon Kokon Meika Zukai illustrating the lives of notable and famous figures in Japanese history. The set was to cover a total of 100 figures 10 per volume. Ultimately only the first two volumes were ever published 1887 and 1890. A third related book also from Kyoshundo was published during this time illustrating famed locations in Japan.<br /> <br /> This variant of the work contains the main text throughout only in English although the final two pages containing publisher's advertisements and publication information are printed in Japanese as well as the image captions. The other known version of the book which was issued simultaneously has the main text of the book printed trilingually in English Japanese and Kanbun a form of Classical Chinese read in Japan which is no longer used. The first printed page of the book credits "Miki Tecki" Miki Teiichi 三木 貞一 1861-1933 with "Japanese and Chinese" text and Goro Takahashi 高橋 五郎 1856-1935 with English translation.
