Abstract
In recent years, research on painters and producers of picture scrolls and picture books has been progressing,
and a great deal of importance has been placed on such illustrations not only in the field of art history, but also
in the field of Japanese literature.
Although the National Archives of Japan stores various types of books containing figures and illustrations, those
books have not been studied to the same extent as have other old, valuable manuscripts.
This report contains bibliographical information on books with illustrations such as bibliographies, and
explanations of their contents that facilitate the use of the books by the public.
For this purpose, pictorial books were chosen from the category of Japanese literature in “the revised classified
catalog of Japanese books of the Cabinet Library”. The number of manuscripts and printed copies of story
books chosen was 513, and the number of books with illustrations chosen was 85. These books are listed
according to the index of the above catalog of the Cabinet Library.
