Colour woodblock printed book, Volume 1 of 'Fat tails of lucky mice' (Fukunezumi shirio no futozao jō) written by Sakuragawa Jihinari with illustrations by Utagawa Toyohiro, published by Yamadaya Sanshirō and Ōmiya Yohei in Edo (Tokyo), 1804. The leading roles in this entertaining novel are taken by elegantly-whiskered white mice. Even among mice the course of true love rarely runs smoothly, and this story describes the obstacles faced by its protagonists. Richly printed in colour, it is a luxurious work. Five months after publication, magistrates ordered that it be printed in black ink only.
