A key work in Jōdo Buddhist literature.

Condition: Good, apart from faint water-stains on ff. 1-7 and 28-31.
Impression: Printed from slightly worn type. The form of script and overall hanshiki are archaistic and somewhat crude, both in engraving and impression, suggesting provincial workmanship. In appearance, the printing is reminiscent of a much earlier period, c. mid-Muromachi.
Seals of ownership: Oblong red seal, Hōrei bunko 寶玲文庫 (ex-libris Frank Hawley), on mikaeshi. Black bookplate, 三柳居杉浦氏藏書記 (ex-libris Sugiura Kyūen 杉浦丘園), pasted on front cover and inner back cover.
Manuscript notes: A few textual headnotes on fol. 2b. Okurigana, kaeriten and sidelines added in black ink c. Kan'ei period.
