Bunbunido Mankokutoushi

Japanese: 文武二道万石通 - ぶんぶにどうまんごくとおし

Yellow cover. Written by Houseido Kisanji and illustrated by Utamaro's disciple Yukimaro. Published in 1788 (Tenmei 8). 3 volumes, 15 pages in a bag. Minamoto no Yoritomo separates daimyo into two categories, literary and martial, at Hitoana in Fuji, and advises the Nurakura daimyo to strive for both literary and martial arts. The book is a precursor to the Kansei Reforms issued by the senior councilor Matsudaira Sadanobu, who asked for an investigation into the behavior of daimyo, saying, "From those with a stipend of 10,000 koku or more to those below...Since literary, martial, and loyal filial piety have long been the law, we should take them seriously." The satirical parody was a hit, and it became a best-seller, becoming "the biggest craze of all time" (Bakin, Edo Sakusha Burui), but it was soon suppressed, and the author stopped writing yellow cover books.

黄表紙。朋誠堂喜三二(ほうせいどうきさんじ)作、歌麿(うたまろ)門人行麿(ゆきまろ)画。1788年（天明8）刊。3巻15丁袋入り本。源頼朝(よりとも)が諸大名を富士の人穴で文武2通りにふるい分け、ぬらくら大名に文武二道の精進を諭す。老中松平定信(さだのぶ)が寛政(かんせい)の改革の前触れとして発した「万石以上以下末々まで……文武忠孝は前々より法令なれば別(べっし)て心入れ」の大名行状調査をうがつ。風刺のパロディーがあたり、「古今未曽有(みぞう)の大流行」（馬琴(ばきん)『江戸作者部類』）のベストセラーになるが、ほどなく弾圧を受け、作者は黄表紙の筆を絶った。
