Edition: Undated edition in 4 kan, 4 satsu, published at some time after the first dated edition of Kanbun 8 寛文八年 (1668) and probably before the 3-kan, 3-satsu edition of Genroku 13 元禄十三年 (1700).

Contents: A collection of witty and humorous anecdotes concerning the unconventional Zen monk Ikkyū 一休, also known as Sōjun 宗純, 1394-1481. Generally classed as a hanashi-bon 噺本, sometimes as a kana-zōshi, the work has an underlying serious tone, Buddhist in origin, as well as its light-hearted elements. The first 2 folios contain an unsigned preface.
