Edo: 1853-54. First edition of this finely illustrated book which rarely appears complete in all three volumes. The “KyÅka Edo Hanabi SenryÅ has sub-titles that show the sort of specialization that was associated with the three leading Utagawa artists. Volume One by Hiroshige entitled ‘Nihonbashi Section’ consists mainly of views of central Edo figures in some prints threading their way through the hanging curtains of calligraphy showing the second floor of a brothel; Volume Two by Kuniyoshi related to the ‘licensed quarter’; and Volume Three by Kunisada = Toyokuni san sei to ‘theatre-land’.”–Hillier The Art of the Japanese Book p. 848 & image 559. At the time of publication these three members of the Utagawa school were at the pinnacles of their careers. The color-printed illustrations depict the fish markets of Nihonbashi the pleasure quarter of Yoshiwara and the backstage preparations in a kabuki theater. The witty and humorous kyÅka poetry appears with the images. Fine and fresh set preserved in an attractive modern chitsu. In the first volume the first 13 leaves have a wormhole maximum 50 mm. in length and becoming shorter as one progresses. This wormhole expertly repaired throughout is present in the woodcuts. unknown books
