Life

Ikku was the son of a samurai in Sumpu -han in the province of Suruga. He got himself some time in the service of a daimyo and lived in Osaka, before he came to prominence as Sharebon ( humorous literature) and Kibyōshi ( Fiction ) independent author. 1802 appeared under the title Ukiyo dochu hizakurige (浮世 道 中 膝 栗 毛, " On foot visiting the floating world" ), the first part of a humorous novel series, the chū under the title Tōkaidō hizakurige (东海 道 中 膝 栗 毛, " On foot through the Tôkaidô ") was known. It describes the experiences of two young citizens of Edo, Yajirobei and Kitahachi who get on their journey on the Tōkaidō of a comical adventure to another. Due to the success Jippensha spun the story that he illustrated himself further and further away, until they finally in 1822 consisted of a total of 43 volumes in 20 episodes. More travel stories Ikkus followed from 1830 such as Zokuzoku hizakurige (続 々 膝 栗 毛), Ehon hizakurige (絵 本 膝 栗 毛) and Kokkei hizakurige (滑稽 脐 栗 毛). Imitations of the Tōkaidō chū hizakurige appeared already during its formation period, and afterwards, such as Kanagaki Robuns Seiyo dochu hizakurige (西洋 道 中 膝 栗 毛" On foot through the Western world," 1870).

Among the more than 600 works from Ikkus brushes are 1804 published Yoshiwara Seiró nenjū Gyoji (吉 原 青楼 年 中 行事, " Almanac of green houses " ) with illustrations by Kitagawa Utamaro and published the following year Mochigashi sokuseki teseishū (饼 果子 即席 手 制 集, " collection faster recipes for rice cakes and sweets " ), a humorous cookbook whose recipes were not really suitable as a guide for cooking.
