Item description from seller

Maki Kin'nosuke 1885 (Meiji 18). 12x9cm publisher's wrapper with printed label; 20 double folded leaves (ie 40pp), illustrated title and introductory leaf, double page frontispiece and heaps of small illustrations everywhere else. The double folded leaves have an extra sheet inside for added durability. These extra leaves are recycled from some other work. Minor signs of use; a pleasing copy. Visual riddles, usually involving torturous puns, have a long and brave history in Japan. In this cute little book the tradition has been brought right up to date: among the sake bottles and big noses I see a train, a hot air ballon, a wall clock, a postman, a steamship, and bearded westerners. Worldcat found no copy. Cinii found one, at Tokyo University.
