Jisan Kachu is a song collection, originally published in 1484 by Sogi (1421-1502), the Waka and Renga master of the Muromachi period. The edition, illustrated by Moronobu is a new, commented edition.
Hishikawa Moronobu is generally accredited as the founder of ukiyo-e. Before his time, the illustrations in printed books were subordinate to the text. He made the illustrations more important, and people bought the books for the sake of the pictures.
