Re: Hokasen
Just out of curiosity I have made some research, taking advantage that I understand Japanese language, and I've discovered that the oldest Japanese magic book known, date from 1696 (October). Its title is "Shinsen Gejutsu," something like "lighthearted person that play." (It's dificult to translate properly due to the old language).
The first magic efect that appear in the book is to cut a piece of paper with the shape of an egg, introduce that piece of paper into the empty mouth, and, after a strong blow, a real egg comes from de mouth.

Re: Hokasen
I've had Clown loaches, Kuhlie loaches, and Skunk loaches in my fish tanks over the years. But I don't think I've ever seen a fish for sale just called "loach."
In a travelogue, Michael Palin visits a restaurant in Japan that has been owned by the same family, in the same location, for 600 years. There is one dish that has been on the menu the entire time: loaches, cooked alive in boiling sake. I would like to try that dish one day.

Wow!
So, since then a book older than that has not been discovered yet (in Japan).
