 note = {In 1911 the journals and fierce enemy of censorship, Miyatake Gaikotsu 宮武外骨 (1867-1955), rescued some old references about the publication ban, in 1723, of a purportedly erotic sequel to the book Hyakunin joro shina sadame, by the famous Kyoto artist Nishikawa Sukenobu (1671-1750).  Those references apparently turn this book into one of the first and rare examples of direct Edo period prohibition of sexually explicit material.  Miyatake explores some other important cases in his Hikka shi 筆禍史.  Yet, despite the many years that have passed since 1911, until now thisparticular episode has been dismissed, probably because of issues with credibility regarding Miyatake himself and the uncertainties about the existence of copies of the erotic book in question.
However, is Miyatake's argument really so baseless?  What are the sources that Miyatake uses in his attempt to historicize the censorship of publications in Japan?  Is it possible to find suitable candidates occu;ying the same position as that "erotic book"?  Can we discern reasons behind control of this type of production, and, particularly, this specific book?  What peculiarities could censorship authorities?  This article will examine those sources and will search for clues which offer insight into the case, taking advantage of the extant copies of Sukenobu's books now in various shunga collections.  Our main interest is to ascertain the core causes of bakufu reaction against Sukenobu, his ediror Hachimonjiya, and his erotic book (shunpon 春本) production.},
