Listen, Copy, Read - Popular Learning in Early Modern Japan
Edited by Matthias Hayek, Paris Diderot University and Annick Horiuchi, Paris Diderot University
Listen, Copy, Read: Popular Learning in Early Modern Japan endeavors to elucidate the mechanisms by which a growing number of men and women of all social strata became involved in acquiring knowledge and skills during the Tokugawa period. It offers an overview of the communication media and tools that teachers, booksellers, and authors elaborated to make such knowledge more accessible to a large audience.
Schools, public lectures, private academies or hand-copied or printed manuals devoted to a great variety of topics, from epistolary etiquette or personal ethics to calculation, divination or painting, are here invoked to illustrate the vitality of Tokugawa Japan’s ‘knowledge market’, and to show how popular learning relied on three types of activities: listening, copying and reading.
With contributions by:
W.J. Boot, Matthias Hayek, Annick Horiuchi, Michael Kinski, Koizumi Yoshinaga, Peter Kornicki, Machi Senjūrō, Christophe Marquet, Markus Rüttermann, Tsujimoto Masashi, and Wakao Masaki.

Hyakkasen 百歌撰(ひゃっかせん)Selection of One Hundred Poems
According to the prologue, the title Selection of One Hundred Poems (Hyakkasen) was inspired by the two works
A Playful Lecture on Hyakunin Isshu (Hyakunin Isshu Odoke Kōshaku) and
The Final Scene at the Ogura-yama Pleasure Quarter (Ogura-yama Kuruwa-no Ōzume).
These works were in turn inspired by the poetry collection
One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets Edited in Ogura (Ogura Hyakunin Isshu).
Hayashiya was generally recognized (including by himself) as the father of Japanese ghost stories.
He advertised his talents with an illustration of the permanent Hayashiya Theater at Hirokōji in Nishi Ryōgoku,
with the inscription "the original / full-sized props / large scale production / spectral stories by Hayashiya Shōzō."
The preface to Hyakkasen states that "every day between 10 a.m. and the evening,
no matter what the weather, storytellers come to the theater one after the other
to perform tales of long ago and a whole assortment of other stories."
Indeed, the book is a collection of long narrations suggestive of the stage at the Hayashiya Theater.
The collection includes the original versions of present-day Rakugo narratives
such as "Kinmeichiku" (Golden Bamboo; titled Ahō-no Kōjō or "an idiot's statement' in this collection) and
"Yajirō", as is notable as a collection of stories by a prominent storyteller of the day.

Tokyo Before Tokyo: Power and Magic in the Shogun’s City of Edo
Tokyo today is one of the world’s mega-cities and the center of a scintillating, hyper-modern culture—but not everyone is aware of its past.
Founded in 1590 as the seat of the warlord Tokugawa family, Tokyo, then called Edo, was the locus of Japanese trade, economics, and urban civilization until 1868, when it mutated into Tokyo and became Japan’s modern capital. This beautifully illustrated book presents important sites and features from the rich history of Edo, taken from contemporary sources such as diaries, guidebooks, and woodblock prints. These include the huge bridge on which the city was centered; the vast castle of the Shogun; sumptuous Buddhist temples, bars, kabuki theaters, and Yoshiwara — the famous red-light district.

Suikyō Kijin-den 粋興奇人傳 Legends of Odd Eccentrics
This volume features the portraits, personal histories and work of 23 sandai-banashi performers belonging to two groups:
Suikyō-ren ("eccentrics' association") and the Kyōshō-ren ("merriment association").
Among many similar collections of sandai-banashi stories, this volume is noteworthy for its description of each performer along with his work.
The volume's prologue also features descriptions of the Rakugo collections
The Wound Writing Brush of Shika/Deer (Shika-no Makifude) by Shikano Buzaemon,
known as the father of Edo Rakugo, and Karaku's Bite-sized Stories (Karaku-ga Hitokuchi-banashi)
by 三笑亭可楽 Sanshōtei Karaku I,
as well as an illustration of an actual sandai-banashi performance.
The sandai-banashi form introduced by Sanshōtei Karaku I in 1804 (Bunka 1) fell out of fashion for a time,
but was revived at the end of the Edo Period, and became popular again with the publication of
Modern-style Sandai-banashi (今様三題噺 Imayō Sandai-banashi) in 1863 (Bunkyū 2).
This volume, featuring the work of Harunoya Ikuhisa and other prominent members of the Suikyō-ren and Kyōshō-ren,
is generally regarded as one of the foremost collection of sandai-banashi narratives.
