Owner's seal: Pulverer

Other: handwritten labels pasted on front cover and mikaeshi

Additional colophon data:

The colophon mentions three publishers and two publication dates: Nishimiya Tasuke 西宮太助, Yorozuya Tajiemon 万屋太次右衛門 (for the 1803 edition), and Daijiemon Kazusaya Chūsuke 上総屋忠助 (block-holder of the 1806 edition).

Impression information:

The original blocks used to publish the 1803 (Kyōwa 3) edition were acquired in 1806 by the Edo publisher Kazusaya Chūsuke 上総屋忠助. The Pulverer copy is probably a later edition printed using Kazusaya's blocks. Looking at the publication details recorded on the inside front cover, the Pulverer copy was perhaps issued and distributed in the mid- to late nineteenth century by two Ōsaka publishers: Morimoto Bunkindō 森本文金堂 and Hanamoto Bunshōdō 華本文昌堂.

Notes:
