Takizawa Bakin was a prominent writer of Edo period fiction. His most popular works are likely Nansô satomi hakkenden (1814-1842), and Chinsetsu yumihari tsuki (1807-1811, a tale of Minamoto no Tametomo).[1]
Bakin also wrote the first widely distributed Japanese-language version of the Suikoden, published serially from 1805 to 1835, with illustrations by Katsushika Hokusai.
