- Hashira title: 'Hyaku jo'. See H30 for another (incomplete) copy of this title with colophon.
'Kokusho somokuroku', vol. 1, p. 358; Matsudaira Susumu, 'Moronobu Sukenobu ehon shoshi' (1987), no. 12, pp. 35-38. Chitsu cover is pasted with a translation of the preface.
(Sato Satoru, 5/1999)
The reason why the date of publication appears to be printed from a repaired block is probably because the era name changed to Tenna on the 29th day of the 9th month, 1681, just before this title was issued.
