This ehon I found bound in the same volume as an original 1836 printing of Hokusai's "Ehon Shoshoku Shin-Hinagata". The title appears to be CHOUKOU HINAGATA. It consists of many peculiar anatomical drawings of animals, dragons, people, architectural elements of buildings, etc. The subject matter is very similar to that of Hokusai's book but I question what the relationship between the two is. Who made the CHOKOU HINAGATA and what, exactly is it ???
