Condition: Generally good. Some water staining in upper margins; other stains on ff. 79-84. Worn fore-edges have been repaired by urauchi.
Impression: For the most part sharp and clear.
Seals of ownership: Oval red seal, Chishō shozō 智勝書藏, on fol. 1 (seal of the Myōshinji Chishōin 妙心寺智勝院, Kyōto).
Manuscript notes: Note in red on fol. 1a, upper right: 朱点ハ唐音也. In addition to the handwritten on and kun readings in black and red noted above, the following shikigo appears on a fly-leaf at end of text: 應仁之初変起于輦下大内政弘朝臣率卒入朝而 ／ 在洛日久矣軍務之暇適俾東福季弘叟加倭點於 ／ 此書焉今借其真本令景陽敬室寫之亦以他訓 ／ 點自書于厥端首燕石和璧博識正諸 ／ 明應龍集乙卯仲秋下澣 槐下桑門. At bottom left of the same folio verso is a signature 林松悦, followed by the writer's kaō (handwritten seal). This signature is in a different hand from the shikigo quoted above, and appears to be of late-Muromachi date.
