- quote
. . . a fictional Japanese person. He has appeared in novels and plays, kōdan, television and film jidaigeki and other media. The earliest known appearance was in the work Ōkubo Musashi Abumi.
Brimming with the Japanese values of giri and ninjō, the fishmonger Tasuke is the epitome of the Edokko, the son of Edo. A stock character in works set during the time of the third Tokugawa shogun Iemitsu (who ruled from 1623 to 1651), he collaborates with the veteran samurai Ōkubo Hikozaemon.
Tasuke is so beloved that although fictional, he has a grave at a temple in Minato, Tokyo.
In kabuki, Tasuke is a character in Medashi Yanagi Midori no Matsumae (芽出柳翠緑松前).
Isshin Tasuke is in the titles of three enka.
Ichirō Toba sang Bungo no Isshin Tasuke. Mitsuko Nakamura recorded Mitsuko no Isshin Tasuke. Tarō Yamada (who starred in the television series) released Otoko! Isshin Tasuke.

Seifū's Compendium of Hawkers and Mendicants 晴風翁物賣物貰盡
produced this series of around 180 portraits of mobile vendors in the late Edo and Meiji periods.
This collection is thought to have been hand-drawn by the artist himself,
with depictions of the vendors copied from a number of different books.
The picture to the left depicts a bonito fish vendor peddling his wares on the street.
Walking the streets in their workmen's aprons, short coats and
reverse-tied headbands, Edo's fishmongers epitomized the ebullient character of the townsfolk of Edo.
When the first bonito fish of the season went on sale in summer,
the townsfolk, always keen to sample new-season produce, would compete to purchase them.
In 1659 (Manji 2), the Shogunate issued permissions to 49 categories of mobile vendor in Edo,
including food-related categories such as oil, green tea, drinking snacks,
salt, miso, soy sauce, tokoroten jelly, and pounded rice cakes.
