The Twenty-Four Filial Piety of Great Japan

Japanese: 大倭二十四孝 - やまとにじゅうしこう
The Twenty-Four Filial Piety of Great Japan
A collection of 24 volumes in 12 books written in kana. It is said to have been written by Azai Ryoi. It was published in 1665 (Kanbun 5). There are later editions such as the 1698 (Genroku 11) edition and an unpublished edition, as well as another edition with illustrations by Hishikawa Moronobu. The Yuan Dynasty's Selected Twenty-Four Filial Sons, written by Kaku Jukei, was translated as a fairy tale called Twenty-Four Filial Sons. As the Edo Shogunate's educational policy, guided by Confucianism, took hold, stories of filial sons were highly revered, creating a boom that led to the publication of kana zoshi such as Tales of Filial Piety and Tales of Parents and Children.

Japanese:
仮名草子。24巻12冊。浅井了意作といわれる。1665年(寛文5)刊。後印本に98年(元禄11)版や無刊年版などのほか,菱川師宣の手になる挿画を加えた別版もある。元の郭居敬の撰述にかかる《二十四孝子選》が,御伽草子《二十四孝》として翻訳されたり,江戸幕府の儒教をその指針とした文教政策が浸透してゆく一環として孝子譚が尊ばれ,一つのブームとなり《孝行物語》《親子物語》などの仮名草子が刊行されるにいたった。
