Kibyōshi

Kibyōshi

nihongo|Kibyōshi|黄表紙| is a genre of Japanese picture book kusazōshi (草双紙) produced during the middle of the Edo period. Physically identifiable as yellow-backed pictorial novels, the genre was in vogue for nearly thirty years beginning in 1775 with a work written by Koikawa Harumachi (恋川春町) whose title is popularly translated as "Master Flashgold's Splendiferous Dream" (金々先生栄花夢). As a formal history of the genre has yet to be written, the some three thousand titles are difficult to accurately characterize.
