Edition: Published as a revised and enlarged version of Ainōshō 壒囊鈔, probably c. Kanbun period (1661-73). The 2-page kanbun preface, printed in gyōsho script, is signed Shakushi soregashi biku 釋氏某比丘 and dated Tenbun 1, 1532. This refers to the date when the work was completed, not printed.
Contents: A compendium of miscellaneous information on a wide variety of topics, ranging from Chinese and Japanese traditional lore to the etymology of kanji. The compiler, in selecting material, drew upon two earlier works: Chiribukuro 塵袋 and Ainōshō 壒囊鈔, compiled by the monk Gyōyo 行譽 in 1446, and published in Shōhō 3, 1646. From the mid-Edo period, Jinten ainōshō was regarded as a revised and enlarged edition of Ainōshō and surpassed it in popularity.
