This book features complete annotated translations of Narushima
Ryuhoku's two most widely read and influential texts, both of which
showcase the innovative and experimental use of Chinese-language
discourse taking place in Japan during the nineteenth century.
Focused on one of the capital city's celebrated geisha districts,
the satirical New Chronicles of Yanagibashi serves as both a
documentary record of changing customs during the tumultuous
1850s-70s and an amusingly nuanced social critique. Banned multiple
times, the work nevertheless became a favorite of the Meiji reading
public. This text is paired with Diary of a Journey to the West,
Ryuhoku's travelogue from his world tour of 1872-1873.
