The {{Nihongo|dangibon|談義本|}} was a pre-modern Japanese literary genre. Texts were written in a humorous, satirical sermon-style with the purpose of educating the masses. It is type of gesaku.
Developments
{{Nihongo|Masuho Zankō|増穂残口|}} and {{Nihongo|Issai Chozan|佚斎樗山|}} are credited with establishing the early foundations upon which the genre rests. In 1715, Masuho wrote {{Nihongo|Endō Tukugan|艶道通鑑|}}, and in 1727 Issai wrote {{Nihongo|Inaka Sōji|田舎荘子|}}. These two texts are early forerunners of the genre. However, the genre is not fully realized until several decades later. In 1752, {{Nihongo|Jōkanbō Kōa|静観房好阿|}} wrote {{Nihongo|Imayō Heta Dangi|当世下手談義||"A Clumsy Sermon in the Modern Manner"}}, which is identified as the first true example of the dangibon genre.
The genre existed between the 1752 c. 1800, reaching "the height of their popularity in the 1750s."Keene (1976: 412) It gradually evolved into the kokkeibon genre at the start of the 19th century.
