Hashiragaki: Kakurin 鶴林 + maki no. + folio no. Between surviving front cover and its mikaeshi, one page from an old book (a katakana-majiri movable type edition, possibly of selections from Lunyu chao 論語抄, 15 lines to page) has been used to reinforce the cover.
Edition: The only recorded movable type edition. Copy in Tōyō Bunko contains a manuscript shikigo dated Genna 8 (1622), thus establishing the date of this edition as pre-1622.
Contents: Text of Helin yulu 鶴林玉露, a Chinese zuihitsu work combining critical comments on poetry (詩話), anecdotes (小説) and the sayings of literary figures. Compiled in mid-13th century.
