Rare Edo-period Illustrated Book – “Shaka Hassō Wabunko” Vol. 7 – By Bantei Ōga, Illustrated by Utagawa Toyokuni (ca. 1847–1851)

English Description

A rare Edo-period woodblock-printed illustrated book (ehon), “Shaka Hassō Wabunko” Vol. 7, written by Bantei Ōga and illustrated by Utagawa Toyokuni, published between the late Kōka 4 (1847) and Kaei 4 (1851).

This series presents dramatic and finely detailed depictions inspired by the “Eight Phases of Shakyamuni’s Life,” adapted into the vibrant ukiyo-e style of the time. Such works are not only valuable as art but also as historical documents reflecting the fusion of Buddhist themes with popular Edo-period storytelling.
