"Seiko Ito and Santo Kyoden Commemorative Event"
Following on from his translation of Sankyoden's work "Tsūgen Sori" about nine years ago, Ito Seikou is now publishing his second new translation, "Shikake Bunko."
Santo Kyoden is a writer and illustrator who was deeply involved in the publications of Tsutaya Juzaburo, the protagonist of next year's NHK Taiga drama "Berabou."
In addition, since the Tsukutsuka monument was moved to the artificial hill behind Sensoji Temple, a memorial service was held and a talk show was planned to help people understand more about Santo Kyoden, Tsutaya Jusaburo, and the state of Edo at that time.
