Antique collection - kottoushū

Japanese: 骨董集 - こっとうしゅう

Essays by Iwase Samuru (Sankyoden). Preface by Ota Nanpo. Published in 3 volumes and 4 books between 1814 and 1815. A historical study of the origins and history of Edo customs, clothing, utensils, food and drink, etc., with many illustrations. After being sentenced to 50 days in handcuffs under the Publication Control Order of the Kansei Reforms, Kyoden stopped writing humorous books and devoted his energy to historical essays. Following "Thoughts on Early Modern Miracles," the results of his work are included in this "Antique Collection," but due to his death, only the first part was completed.

岩瀬醒(さむる)（山東京伝）の随筆。大田南畝序。３巻４冊，1814年―1815年刊。江戸の風俗，服飾，器具，飲食等の起源・沿革を考証したもので，図解が多い。寛政改革の出版取締令による手鎖(てじょう)50日の刑に処せられて以後，京伝は洒落本の筆を断ち，考証随筆に精力を注いだ。《近世奇跡考》についでこの《骨董集》にその成果が収められているが，死没により上編のみで未完。
