Go-Kashiwabara Tennou. [Emperor Go-Kashiwabara] å¾ æ å å¤ ç et al. Kaihou Yuuchiku æµ å å ç« , artist; Kitamuki Unchiku å å é ç« (1623-1703), calligrapher SHINNYOUDOU ENGI ç å¦ å ç èµ 3 volumes, complete. 27.5 x 19.5 cm. String-bound, Japanese-style, fukuro-touji. In the midst of the bloody Ounin Wars that wracked Kyouto and environs for nearly a century, an iconic emaki scroll inscribing the foundation of the Buddhist hall Shinnyodo, was created in 1524. . The calligraphers included the Emperor Go-Kashiwabara (who died two years later). The scroll painter was Kamonnosuke [Fujiwara] Hisakuni æ é å ä …å ½. This printed version, based on the scroll, was printed in the second half of the 17th century, when Japan had already entered an era of peace and prosperity. One could see this printed work as a reflection upon the great chaos of former times. The calligrapher for this printed version was Kitamuki Unchiku and the artist for this book was Kaihou Yuuchiku. Profusely illustrated with wonderful images in a early Edo era style.The only copies I can locate to view online in Japan, at Waseda (1 volume only) and the NDL (missing preliminary text) are inferior in condition and printing quality. Our copy appears to match the Waseda version with an afterward date of Genroku 6 {1693}. The earliest printing for this book appears to have been in Enpou 5 (1677) For more on this work, see KSSM 4-755, and Gardner's book on JAPANESE BOOKS IN THE BRITISH LIBRARY. Complete and professionally restored, in lovely condition and impression. In a custom chitsu clasped case., A very important record of a tragic time , originally created by witnesses to the events.
