Imprint: [Kyōto] , Tanioka Shichizaemon, Jōō 3, 1654. Kanki, on unnumbered folio misplaced between end of genealogy (keizu 系図) and beginning of text of maki 1, reads: 承應三甲午歳季秋吉辰 ／ 谷岡七左衛門板行.
Description: 4 kan (each subdivided into 上 and 下 or 上, 中 and 下), formerly in 12 satsu, now rebound in 1 vol. western style. (Satsu 1 preceding maki 1) ff. 13 (目録並年序), 16 (系図), [1] (batsu and kanki) ; (maki 1 上) ff. 52; (maki 1 下) ff. 43; (maki 2 上) ff. 48; (2 下) ff. 60; (3 上) ff. 43; (3 中) ff. 48; (3 下) ff. 50; (4 上) ff. 48; (4 中) ff. 53; (4 下) ff. 56. 24.2 x 15.4 cm.

Blockprint. Printing frame 17.4 x 11.9 cm. (average). Single-line borders. No fishtail design on hanshin.
Hiragana-majiri text, with printed furigana and dakuten. 11 lines to page, 22-24 characters to line. Dark blue front cover, probably original, of satsu 1 only. Printed gedai, centrally placed: Sagoromo mokuroku 狹衣目録. Title from naidai at head of each maki. Hashiragaki: Sagoromo 狹衣 + maki no. + folio no. in a western-style half-leather binding.
Edition: The earliest blockprinted edition and the first to contain illustrations. Preceded by four movable type editions, and followed by later blockprints in Kansei 11 (1799), Tenpō 8 (1837) and Tenpō 9 (1838).
Contents: An early work of fiction, written c. 1070-90, clearly modelled on Genji monogatari 源氏物語 though much inferior to it. Popular among pre-Edo renga poets on account of its graceful waka poems and wealth of poetic allusions.. Copies of this Jōō 3 edition normally contain the Shitahimo 下紐 commentary of Satomura Jōha 里村紹巴, but this is missing from the present copy.
