Size: Approximately 74.5cm x 49.7cm Illustrated by the fifth generation Utagawa Kunimasa, published by Hasegawa Sumi This is a reprint made using modern printing technology based on the original artwork of the "Kyoken Kotobagaki" published in 1902 (Meiji 35), printed on handmade Japanese paper. The illustrations were drawn by the fifth generation Utagawa Kunimasa, who worked on many works related to the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War. The sugoroku board is circular, with two paths, clockwise and counterclockwise, and players advanced their pieces and competed in fox-fist games when they met. The illustrations all depict famous places related to Inari shrines. Fox-fist is a type of rock-paper-scissors (janken is also a type of fist game), played by two people sitting opposite each other and using both hands. They use their hands to represent a fox, a village headman, and a gun to compete. The fox loses to the gun, the village headman loses to the gun or wins against the fox, and the gun wins against the fox but loses to the village headman, creating an easy-to-understand relationship. Because the original artwork from the time of restoration was used for plate making, repairs are printed as they are. This reprinted sugoroku has no glare typical of offset printing, and the good atmosphere of handmade Japanese paper is evident. ・The condition is based on subjective assessment.
