Print - Hanpon

Japanese: 版本 - はんぽん

It is also written as "banbon". It is the opposite of "shahon" (handwritten manuscript), and refers to books printed with woodblocks. There is also a theory that distinguishes it from books printed with wood type or copper type. Representative Japanese prints include the Koyaban and Gozanban, but prints developed especially during the Edo period, and contributed to the popularization of Edo literature, such as yomihon (reading books), kakushihon (comedy books), ninjyohon (human feelings books), and kusazoshi (comic books).

Japanese:

板本とも書く。写本に対する言葉で，木版で印刷された本をさす。木活字や銅活字による刊本とは区別する説もある。日本の代表的な版本は高野版，五山版などもあるが，特に江戸時代に発達し，読本，滑稽本，人情本，草双紙など江戸文学の大衆化に貢献した。
