Published between the 20th and 21st years of the Meiji era (1887–1888) by the Kabuki Shinpo Society, it includes the enthralling "Tales of Inaba Kozo," a story that resonates with the theatrics and cultural nuances of the time. The editions are adorned with colorful woodblock prints that capture the quintessence of kabuki—its bold expressions and exuberant aesthetics.
