Originally published in 1970, this is the life story of Hiraga Gennai, a genius of the Edo period known for inventing the "elektron," the "day of the ox," and the "catch copy. Gennai was rumored to be an eccentric despite his unbridled talent. The story unfolds through a comedic battle between the two sides of Gennai's character, the "front" and the "back" sides.
