 note = {This paper examines the erotic book entitled Onna enshi kyokun kagami, produced in the second half of the eighteenth century in the Kamigata area.  The first section explores archives where original copies are held and determines the bibliographical identity of this book.  The second section analyses its intertextual nature, and shows that what we are confronted with is a pastiche of erotic rewritings of different source texts and styles.  The first intertextual layer is identified in the minimal parody of the title, of the layout and of selected portions of the popular conduct book for women, Onna Genji kyokun kagami (first published in 1713).  The parodic rewriting of sections from another conduct book, the selective appropriation of the style used in guides for the interpretation of dreams and the verbatim quotation of long passages from the medical text Koso myoron constitute further intertextual levels.  The final section moves below the intertextual surface, and reflects upon how Onna enshi kyokun kagami combines the educational dimension of a non-narrative manual for sexual hygiene with an entertaining dimension that derives from the presence of overtly humorous naratives.  One of the main arguments of the paper is that, in contrast to other similar works produced by Tsukioka Settei, this text does not constitute a polemical counter-discourse to the moral message conveyed by conduct books for women; rather, it complements the moral knowledge on how to behave within the household with more practical information about how to conduct a successful sexual life.},
