About this Item

n.p. (c1880?). 18x11cm publisher's colour woodcut wrapper; 10 double leaves (ie 20pp) with two verses and woodcuts per page. Modern looking stitching, some worming in the very corner of a few pages. Enlightenment dodoitsu - that is, modern and up to date. Dodoitsu are popular verses or songs, often sort of the equivalent of vaudeville or music hall ditties. We have electricity, hot air balloons, oil lamps, the sewing machine, clocks among the subjects.Cinii finds only one entry, at Kyushu University. They list the publisher as Sakurai Yasuichi but I can't get that indistinct small panel to read anything like that.
