Waseda University Library - a full ehon with several illustrations and text There is no artist's signature, no censor's seal and no publisher's seal on either of these prints, but we now know that it is from an ehon published by Shikuntei in 1856. We don't know who did the illustrations to these volumes, but we do know that the accompanying text is by Kanagaki Robun (仮名垣魯文: 1829-94) who wrote under the pen-name Kinton Dōnjin (金屯道人) in this publication. See the link to Waseda University above.
