The first maki has had the original numeral erased at head of mokuroku, head of text and in bidai (尾題), and the figure 1 (巻第一) substituted in manuscript. Similarly, in the 3 kan which follow, the original numerals have been erased and maki nos. 2, 3, and 4 written in by hand. On the hanshin these maki are numbered 4, 5, 6 and 7.Fukurotoji.

Edition: The only recorded blockprinted edition. This was the earliest work to be published at Hiroshima.
