About this place
Hiden Senbazuru Orikata (also written with variant characters) is a book of 49 types of connected cranes, first published in 1797 (Kansei 9) by Tamehachi Yoshinoya of Kyoto. The creator of the connected cranes was Gido Ichien (1762-1834; his pen name for writing Chinese poetry was Rokoan), the 11th head priest of Chogenji in Kuwana, Ise Province. The editor and author was Rito Akisato, known for "Tokaido Meisho Zue," and the illustrator was Shunsensai Takehara. It is a Japanese-style bound book printed in a single colour from woodblocks, about the same size as a modern paperback.
