Shanks Mare: Japans Great Comic Novel of Travel & Ribaldry

Editorial Reviews
The Bookwatch
“An outstanding comic novel and essential to a thorough understanding of Japanese literary history and culture.”

Book Description
A pair of irrepressible scoundrels are the heroes of this madcap chronicle of adventure, full of earthy humor, along the great highway from Tokyo to Kyoto. The lusty tale of their disreputable doings is Japan's most celebrated comic novel. Shank's Mare was originally issued serially beginning in 1802, and was so successful that the author wrote numerous sequels, appearing year by year, until 1822. This novel portrays all the varied colors in Japan's Tokugawa era.
