Tosai's Essays

Japanese: 東斎随筆 - とうさいずいひつ
Tosai's Essays
A collection of tales from the Muromachi period. Two volumes in one book. Written by Ichijo Kaneyoshi. Date of publication unknown. Published in 1693 ( Genroku 6 ). It is divided into 11 categories, such as music, plants, birds and animals, and human affairs, and mainly collects tales from the Middle Ages, but most of them are merely summaries or quotations from sources such as "Kojidan," "Jikkunsho," and "Okagami." This is the first book in Japan to be called an "essay."
