- Curator's comments
- Contains single illustrations and short illustrated narratives with inscribed dialogue. Figures drawn in styles reminiscent of modern manga, making this and similar journals an important link between the mid-nineteenth century comic prints of Kuniyoshi and manga. The variety of styles suggests the participation of many different artists. The only other recorded example of this journal seems to be issue no. 8 (1908), in the collection of Meiji Shinbun Zasshin Bunko, Tokyo.
