¡Edo No Zan Utsu Kido Kaiki Zuihitsu Sen
¡OKAMOTO KIDO / Cho Higashi Masao / Hen
Description
[Machine Translation] Okamoto Kido, a playwright and novelist born to a former shogun, is well known for his plays "Bancho Sarayashiki" and novels such as the "Hanshichi Catcher's Book" series, as well as "Miura senja mukashi monogatari" (Old Man Miura's Old Tales), which is based on odd stories from the Edo period and is full of Edo sentiment. This book is a selection of 25 essays and stories by this master storyteller, rich in Edo nostalgia and a taste for the bizarre, including tales of the Ako Incident, his late father's ghost experiences, tales from the backstage of ghost plays, and strange stories found in essays from the early modern period. The essay written just after the earthquake, including the phrase "Raccoon Slope, Kurayamizaka, Autumn Dusk," which marked the beginning of Kido's ghost stories, is also reprinted for the first time.
