Focused on one of the capital city's celebrated geisha districts, the satirical New Chronicles of Yanagibashi serves as both a documentary record of changing customs during the tumultuous 1850s-70s and an amusingly nuanced social critique. Banned multiple times, the work nevertheless became a favorite of the Meiji reading public. This text is paired with Diary of a Journey to the West, Ryuhoku's travelogue from his world tour of 1872-1873\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornell East Asia Series","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46870313435287,"sku":"9781933947518","price":3568.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781933947518.webp?v=1769996553","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/new-chronicles-of-yanagibashi-and-diary-of-a-journey-to-the-west-narushima-ryuhoku-reports-from-home-and-abroad-9781933947518","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
