Abstract

In the Asano Library edition of Hachi-katsuki at the Hiroshima Central Library, the process of making picture books is minutely described. Like the notes written on the back cover of the book, the same literary devise as is used in Yoshitsune-ki, instructions to the illustrator can be found on the back sides of pictures. The way of instructing is not only interesting but also important because it greatly helps us understand the way of composing the picture books of the Nara Period.
