Kanbun text with printed okurigana and kaeriten. 9 lines to page, 18 characters to line.

Edition: Kokatsujiban no kenkyū distinguishes four kokatsuji editions, all undated, two published in Keichō and two in Genna period. The present copy bears some resemblance in its hanshiki to the 9-line Genna edition but there are obvious differences, and this is clearly an unrecorded blockprinted edition. None of the movable type editions has printed kunten.
Contents: Explanatory lectures on the Daode-jing 道德經 of Laozi.
