1865 Japanese Shaka Hasso Buddha Samurai Color Illustrated Woodblock Print 2v



A rare, 19th-century Japanese woodblock print of ‘Shaka Hassou Yamato Bunko,’ a biography of Buddha by Mantei Oga, illustrated by Utagawa Kunisada. The book uses the "eight phases" of Buddha's life to teach important points and entertain the general populace about Shaka's life, who is known in Japan as Shakamuni. Kunisada's illustrations are highly praised for their expressive style and attention to detail. The book is considered a masterpiece of Japanese kusazoshi, a type of Japanese illustrated book from the Edo era, literature and reflects the popularity of Buddhism during the Edo period.



This rare 1865 edition is written in the typical handwritten column format with illustrations of samurai, courtesans, attacks, animals, and more!
