The performing art of Kōwakamai, a dance and narrative form beloved by Sengoku period warlords, was enjoyed as a reading material, "Mai no Hon" (Book of Dance), during the Edo period. It contains thirty-six pieces, including narrative works such as "Yuriwaka Daijin" and "Taishokukan," as well as works based on the Genpei War, the life of Yoshitsune, and the Soga brothers. This is a friendly classic with simple illustrations and rhythmic prose. - Publisher: Iwanami Shoten - Price: 4200 yen - Special Notes: Both the obi (paper band) and monthly bulletin are included.
