Manuscript, in an unidentified hand. Re-bound in the early 19th century possibly not to show the original title. The plot revolves around the various homosexual love affairs of a boy called "Genta", the son of a samurai, and ends with him being killed by one of his lovers at age 16. This plot is typical of 17th century Japanese homosexual fiction, but the author has written the tale as if it were non-fiction
