Honchoouinhiji - The Story of Cherry Blossoms in Japan
Ukiyo-zoshi. Five volumes. Forty-four chapters. Written by Ihara Saikaku. Published in 1689 ( Genroku 2 ). The title is a counterpoint to the Chinese Song Dynasty's "Touin Hijito," but with the "Tou" tree replaced with "Sakura" and the title "Honcho." The contents are also a collection of stories about trials. Some of the stories are based on "Itakura Seiyo" and other works, but the stories reveal the subtleties of human feelings through trials, bringing to light the social conditions of the time.

浮世草子。五巻。四四章。井原西鶴作。元祿二年(一六八九)刊。書名は中国宋代の「棠陰(とういん)比事」に対し、棠を桜にかえ本朝を冠したもので、内容も同じく裁判に関する話を集録。「板倉政要」などを原拠とした話もあるが、裁判を通して人情の機微をうがち、当時の世相を浮かび上がらせている。
