Edition: This may belong to the undated first edition assigned by Kokusho sōmokuroku 国書総目録 to Meireki 明暦 period. The only dated edition recorded is that of Enpō 7 延宝七年 (1679), published by Shōkai 松會. It is perhaps more likely that the present copy was published (also by Shōkai) at some date after Enpō 7 (1679).
