Product description ※Please note that product information is not in full comprehensive meaning because of the machine translation.

This is the second part of the Japanese literature
series. Following the first part of the series "Shinkei Kasaga-buchi" (Shinkei Kasaga-buchi), "Botan-doro" (The Peony Lantern), which is also a representative work of Sanyutei Encho, is made into a novel by Ohashi Takayuki, a writer and researcher of modern literature. It is counted as one of the three major ghost stories, "Oiwa no Yotsuya Kaidan," "Kiku no Sara Yashiki," and "Otsuyu no Botan-doro" (The Dew Peony Lantern), but in fact it is told as a ghost story by cutting out a part of the first half. The original form is a complicated story involving love and hate and the revenge of the lord. In this book, the whole "Botan-doro" is made into a novel. Kyotaro YANAGIYA, an influential rakugoka, supervised it.
