This is a collection of personal belongings from the recently deceased, who was 90 years old. It is a parody of "The Tale of Genji" published during the "Tempo era." Although it was a popular booklet for the masses, it seems to have been popular at the time. This collection was carefully arranged by the deceased, with good condition pages, and mounted on cardstock as a collection. Defects such as insect damage are minimal, and only clean pages have been processed one by one for preservation and appreciation. Of course, they are in their original paper form. Only representative items are shown in the photos. (It seems that other booklets from the same period are also included.) A set of 37 pages.

The illustrations are by Kunisada Utagawa. Published from Bunsei 12 (1829) to Tempo 13 (1842) [1]. It became the biggest bestseller of the Edo period [1] and Tanekiyo's representative work. It was written over 14 years, but ended with the 38th volume (152 books) due to the author's literary offense and death. However, the 39th and 40th volumes were published in 1928 (Showa 3) based on manuscripts left behind. Commonly known as "Inaka Genji" [citation needed]. It is a novel that popularly adapts "The Tale of Genji," and "Nise" (偐) means "imitation" or "fake."
