Edition: The second movable type edition of this work. The okuzuke signed by Ōta Izumi-no-kami 太田和泉守 and dated Keichō 15 (quoted under Imprint above) was taken over from the original manuscript and incorporated in the printed editions. It refers to the date of composition of the work, not of printing.
Contents: An account of military events centred on Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the Tenshō period (1573-92), written between 1580 and 1590. It describes the defeat of the Takeda 武田 faction by Hideyoshi and his subsequent pacification measures. The work incorporates the Taikō gunki 太閤軍記 of Ōta Gyūichi 太田牛一 with the text of Ōmura's Tenshōki.
