Additional colophon data: The publisher's trademark recurs on the printed daisen and in the preface. The publisher was most likely Murataya Jirobē 村田屋治郎兵衛, owner of Eiyūdō 栄邑堂, as suggested by the trademark and by one of the book advertisements on sheet 15 verso (see KSHS, pages 5 and 827).

Notes: Title from daisen

Publication date inferred from the preface. The illustration on the daisen also includes the character ne 子 (year of the rat), which suggests the original publication year was 1804.

One illustrated daisen (originally on the cover of volume 3 下) has been used as a title slip for the whole work.

Daisen is printed with light yellow color
