  abstract: This book explores the path to today's manga, starting with handscrolls dating from the thirteenth century. It outlines how and when the term 'manga' first came into use and how it originally described sketchbooks. A selection of almost fifty illustrated books issued between ca. 1680 to 1880 demonstrate the wide range of subjects and genres, poetry, women, kabuki actors, humor and supernatural adventures, that this new mode of storytelling brought to life. Included are fantastical tales with hair-raising illustrations by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), Japan's best-known artist. The book concludes with the influx of Western ideas into Japan at the turn of the twentieth century and the birth of satirical and political magazines that carry illustrations by Japan's first modern cartoonists.
  table of contents: Early storytelling through painted handscrolls -- Early uses of the term "manga" -- Illustrated poetry books -- Actors, women, and leisure activities -- Humorous stories and fables -- Supernatural adventure novels -- Hokusai's fantastical serial novels -- The influx of Western ideas.
