Edition: The second edition, of which this copy is a later reprint by Minoya Hikobē, was published at Kyōto in Kanbun 4 (1664). Another reprint of the same 1664 edition was issued by Urokogataya at Edo in Kanbun 11 (1671). Comparison with reproductions from both editions indicates that the present copy is an undated later reprint, with kanki erased, of the Kyōto edition of Kanbun 4 (1664).
Contents: A didactic kana-zōshi work on the virtues of patience under suffering and in human relationships generally, as exemplified in stories from early Chinese and Japanese literature.
