Lust, Commerce, and Corruption - An Account of What I Have Seen Heard, By an Edo Samurai, Abridged

Summary

In 1816, an anonymous samurai produced a scathing critique of Edo society. Writing as Buyo Inshi, he expressed a profound despair with the state of the realm. Although he saw decay wherever he turned, Buyo also provided a vivid, wide-ranging picture of Edo life. This abridged edition streamlines the original translation for classroom use.
