Abstract

en_US The three volumes of this set are a facsimile reingraving of the 1659 Haseda Daigaku Toshokan copy of Aesop's fables. The imprint reads Ito San'emon, Manji 2. It is done in Oriental style on double leaves in a heavier paper casing bound by thread. I count some 31 double pages in this volume, including five illustrations. The upper panel of the first presents The Ant and the Fly. The lower panel seems to present a demon on horseback with a human walking alongside. The second may have the fox betraying the wolf in the upper panel, but the presence of both waves and a basket with the latter animal make me wonder. The lower panel here is AD. The upper panel of the third illustration has perhaps one animal (a wolf?) seizing the prey (a fox?) from another animal which is hard for me to identify. The lower panel has a cat outside a house and a mouse or rat inside. Might the upper portion of the fourth panel be the story of the wife visiting her drunken husband in his tomb? The lower portion seems to show a raging storm god causing wind and rain. The fifth illustration seems to have a bird on a tree branch relating to a man with a long pole. Below one human being may hold a rope over another human being on the ground. I look forward to working with the person who can clarify the association of these fascinating illustrations! There is a loose insert at the beginning of the volume, perhaps an advertisement.
