Abstract

Kibyoushi, one kind of Kusazoushi(woodblock printing book) of the Edo Period, has characteristics to represent the ways of society and fashion at that time. Such features made Kibyoushi become the most popular publication among Edo people, so we can say it was the beginning of Japanese pop culture. However, there is also another kind of Kibyoushi dealing with Japanese old tales(Mukashibanashi) as the main material differently. This paper focuses on Houseidou Kisanji’s Oyanokataki Uteya Haratsuzumi(1777) that affected Inoue Hisashi even though he was a writer in the 21st century. Haratsuzumi has features of postscript to Kachikachiyama, a Japanese famous old tale. Kisanji did the great parody work by using original characters such as Usagi(rabbit) and Tanuki(racoon) with more complicated plot. Another Kibyoushi dealing with Kachikachiyama is Kaburikotoba Nanatsumeno Etoki written by Tourai Sanna in 1789. Ten years had passed since Kisanji’s Haratsuzumi but Sanna presented the characters of Kisanji’s considered Hommage to him. Although Sanna parodied Kachikachiyama only partly in his work, he wittily succeeded to Kisanji’s Haratsuzumi by attempting character parody. Both Kisanji and Sanna represented the features of Japanese pop culture through Kibyoushi dealing with Japanese old tale in the Edo Period and more other following genres need to be discussed in this aspect from now on.
