Influenced by Saga-bon, other books such as kana-zoshi (story book written in kana during the early Edo period (primarily for the enlightenment and entertainment of women and children)), joruri-bon (books of scripts of joruri - the narrative which accompanies a Bunraku puppet show) and hyoban-ki (books of public estimation on various matters) adopted engraved plate illustrations.
嵯峨本の影響を受けて、仮名草紙、浄瑠璃本、評判記なども版刻の挿し絵を採用するようになった。
