Lit. red and green books. Also called edoribon οΗθ{ or Gζ{ (colored books) during the Edo period. Early Edo woodblock printed books which were black ink printed and then hand colored in a rather haphazard manner. The main colors used were orange-red *tan O and green, but colors such as blue and yellow ochre were also used. They were produced from circa 1625-1700 for a readership consisting primarily of the wealthy Kyoto merchant class. Tanrokubon can be thought of as a popular adaptations of *nara-ehon ήΗG{ (hand-illustrated manuscript editions of popular tales), which flourished from the 16c to the early 18c. Although tanrokubon included stories similar to those in nara-ehon, they also were used extensively for *kana zoushi ΌΌ. The illustrations, too, were in the naive nara-ehon style, which originally derived from the brightly colored *yamato-e βάΖG tradition; however, the block-printed illustrations of tanrokubon were drastically simplified, imitating the gold paint in the nara-ehon, for example, with pale yellow coloring. Both the drawings and carving of the block were usually rather crude. The method of hand-coloring after printing was also used in early tan-e OG and the maps of the early Edo period. The illustrators of tanrokubon remain anonymous. They are now admired primarily for their rarity, although it can be said their illustrations have a certain naive but intimate charm. | ||||||
