Edition: The first edition was published in Meireki 2 (1656), 11 lines to the page, without illustrations. However, according to Kana-zōshi shūsei 仮名草子集成, vol. 1, pp. 527-9, this was followed by an illustrated edition published by Shōkai 松會, possibly in Kanbun 6 寛文六年 (1666). The present copy agrees in all respects with maki 上 of this edition, as described above, and undoubtedly belongs to it. Furthermore, Amida kankinshō あみだかんきん抄 (16107.h.15) is almost certainly a copy of maki 下 of the present work, Amida hadaka monogatari.
Contents: A kana-zōshi work in the form of questions put by Ozasa no Tametada 小笹爲忠 to the monk Ikkyū 一休 about Buddhist doctrines concerning Amida Buddha, and Ikkyū's explanation expressed in Simple language.
