Description: Jippensha Ikku 十返舎一九, here as -斎子 Suisaishi.. author. Zatto Ichiran Zenpen 襍oe一覧-編 . Kyouto, Yoshinoya Nihei, Zodiacal date on the title page of 1819.. 2 volumes 21.9 x 14.3cm in gray-green wrappers string-bound Japanese-style, fukuro-toji with original printed title slips. Jippensha Ikku (1765-1831), comic author and "man of mode," was an important member of the gesaku literary movement of the 19th C. his most famous work being the Tokaidochu Hizakurige (known as the Shank's Mare). Though titled a "zenpen", volume one, it appears to be complete in two volumes, as here. Ikku has created a little sharehon for the playboy set. The title illustrates the work's sly humor, and roughly translates as "This and That," or even "A Perspective on Stuff, volume one." In this work, he has combined his light humorous touch with his own illustrations as well. His naive and silly pictures compliment the contents of this clever work admirably. Wear and damage to covers and title slips but the artwork in this ephemeral book is in overall good condition. Few copies found in the Union Catalogue. .
