Muromachi Jidai No Shojo Kakumei "Shinkurodo" Emaki No Sekai

[Machine Translation] The girl wanted to be a man...! This is an illustrated story of a young girl who dressed as a man and went up to the palace to fight with her sister for the love of the emperor. How did women live in the age when only men could attain Buddhahood? This is a unique work that could be called a "manga of the Muromachi period," with dialogue written next to the illustrations of the characters. In addition to a translation into modern Japanese with manga-like speech balloons, the entire picture scroll is introduced with photographs. The significance of this work is also fully conveyed from various perspectives.
