Author/compiler: Shōken 證賢, Jōdo Buddhist monk, also known as Kōa 向阿, 1263-1345.
Imprint: [Kyōtol, Murakami [Kanbē 勘兵衞] Heirakuii,Keian 2, 1649. Mokki on fol. 47b of maki 下, preceding batsu, reads: 慶安二年己丑九月吉祥 ／ 二條通玉屋町村上平樂寺.

Blockprint. Printing frame 21.5 x 18.6 cm. (average). Single-line borders. 'Flower petal' fishtail design on hanshin of maki 上; plain fishtail on maki 下.
Hiragana-majiri text, with printed furigana and kutōten. 9 lines to page, c. 18 characters to line.

Edition: This may be an amalgam of two editions, judging by the differing hanshin designs. Maki 下 is dated and clearly belongs to the earliest Edo-period edition, that of Keian 2 慶安二年, 1649. Maki 上 may be of a slightly later edition, but the hanshin designs do not furnish conclusive proof of this. A batsu in kanbun on fol. 48, signed by the monk Ryugyō 隆堯, refers to the first printed edition of this work, dated Ōei 26 応永二十六年, 1419. This batsu is followed by two printed lines, 三部右筆一條黃門 ／ 刻彫檀主四明良俊, indicating that Ichijō Kōmon was the copyist, that Shimei Ryōshun engraved the blocks for this edition, and that it formed part of the collective work Sanbu kanashō 三部假名抄.
Contents: One of Shōken's three Jōdo Buddhist works, Sanbu kanashō 三部假名抄, drawing a comparison between the world of suffering humanity and the paradise open to those who call on the saving grace of Amida. Its title refers to the father-child relationship between Amida Buddha and all living beings.
