Edition: First published under the title Kyōka-banashi 狂歌咄 by Suzuki Gon'emon 鈴木權右衞門 in Kanbun 12 (1672). Later editions containing new material centred on Sorori Shinzaemon 曾呂里新左衞門 as leading personage and with title changed to Sorori kyōka-banashi were published, some of them retaining the original publication date of Kanbun 12. The present copy belongs to one of these later editions, date of issue unknown but possibly as late as mid-18th century. The page of publisher's advertisements following last folio of maki 5 supports this view.
Contents: A collection of amusing anecdotes incorporating kyōka and waka poems, some drawn from earlier poets and some composed by the compiler. The work is variously classed as a kana-zōshi and as a hanashi-bon.
