Description

This sample page from Nihon Ōdai Ichiran (1834) represents the first published account of Emperor Kenzō's life and reign to become available in the West. This French text is a translation of Hayashi Gahō's seven-volume Imperial chronology, first circulated in Kyoto in 1652 and reprinted in the early 19th century as a standard reference work for use by Tokugawa scholar-bureaucrats. The image also illustrates section layout, merged Japanese kanji with French type-face composition, and rare pre-Hepburn transliterations in French paragraph contexts
