This is a humorous story about a group of retired men and women who encounter a Taoist Immortal. They request to become students so they too may live forever. Ikku, the author, was a prolific writer who published 20 Edo Manga a year, in addition to other works. His sarcastic and ironic takes on contemporary society garnered him many fans and he is said to have been the first author in Japan to make a living solely on writing. Edo Manga were popular with the highly literate Edo townspeople and Samurai as well and continued to be published until the end of the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Utagawa Kuninao, Jippensha Ikku\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950959066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950959068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Michael Shahan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Utagawa Kuninao","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983717007615,"sku":"9781950959068","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_731a488e-b0f5-4066-a1ac-48a7f2d40372.jpg?v=1683268298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-to-become-a-taoist-utagawa-kuninao-9781950959068","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
