Description "Kaika Shusse Kotobuki Goroku, Year 7 of Meiji, Yoshitora/Illustration" (Reproduction printed on Japanese paper) Size: Approximately 58.5 x 69.5 cm Artist: Yoshitora Description: This is a reproduction of "Kaika Shusse Kotobuki Goroku" published in the 7th year of Meiji, re-engraved based on the original artwork using modern printing technology and printed on handmade Japanese paper. Due to differences in printing methods from the Meiji era, there is a slight sheen in the areas with darker colors, but the texture of the handmade Japanese paper works well, creating a good atmosphere. The size is also large, and it has a lot of impact. Content Introduction: Starting from elementary school, players pass through various occupations, and if things go well, they "go up." If the dice roll is bad, they end up with imprisonment or bankruptcy, making it a thrilling sugoroku game. The starting point depicts a scene of a lesson using word diagrams, and various occupations such as government officials, large wholesalers, and rickshaw pullers appear. At the finishing square, a lively banquet can be seen. The 7th year of Meiji, when this work was published, was also the year when former Councilor Shinpei Eto and others caused a rebellion in Saga against the Meiji government, which opposed the Seikanron (Korea subjugation debate). The government also aimed to divert the dissatisfaction of the samurai class that was occurring in various places, and launched an expedition to Taiwan following the incident of the abuse of Japanese castaways by Taiwanese aborigines. Even amidst the rising mood of rebellion, the positive and bright desire for "success" of the people seems to be expressed in this sugoroku. Notes: ・The condition is based on subjective assessment.
