Tôsei Suikoden

(A Modern Suikoden, 当盛水滸伝)

1829

This three volume series is based on stories from the semi-historical Chinese novel, Suikoden (Shuihu zhuan in Chinese).  It tells of the adventures of a band of 108 rebels who sought refuge in the margins of Liangshan Marsh.  These rebel warriors sought to protect the poor and downtrodden, very much like Robin Hood’s band.  Each page is approximately 8¾ by 61/3 inches or 22 by 16 cm, a size known as hanshi-bon.
