This article examines the early printings of a kana-zōshi, Usuyuki monogatari, from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The text is a pastiche of earlier works, most especially the Heian-period Ise monogatari, and an early edition uses illustrations from the 1608 Saga-bon Ise monogatari wholesale. The article examines whether the function of such visual and verbal quotation can be called parodic, and explores the role of narrativity in the consideration of both parody and pastiche
