CATALOGUE OF THE EXHIBITION - ITEMS 237 TO 265
Titles with the mark 
denote titles of the series while the mark 
denotes the sub-title. Those titles without any mark are the additions of the compiler of the catalogue.
ILLUSTRATED BOOKS.
The illustrated books are of various kinds. Those entitled Kyōka-hon
are collections of comic ballads composed by the versifiers of the
times for the amusement of later generations. Those styled Kusazōshi
are books of novels or humorous writings. The books displayed in
the exhibition all contain some illustrations by Hiroshige. Those
called Ebon
consist of pictures
only. These books are a great help to the study of the gradual growth
of Hiroshige's style. Unlike most prints, they are usually dated.
Hiroshige was such a good composer of ballads that he had as his
nom de plume, Tōkaidō Utashige.
he was therefore very
skilful in drawing illustrations for books of comic ballads. Figures
and landscapes, simple as they are in composition, fully represent
the taste and significance of the ballads.
