It is a woodblock edition of the private publication "Honcho Toki Koshō" written in 1857 (Ansei 4) by Tokusui Kanamori, a chief retainer of the Kuno family of Tamaru Castle in Ise Province, Kishu Domain. Tokusui Kanamori followed the tenth generation of the Omotesenke school, Sōsa Kikōsai, to master the secrets of the tea ceremony. In addition to this book, he has written "Kokon Sawa" and "Naraigoto Jūsan-kajō Daishō-shō Furoku," among others. In this book, he recommends Zhu Liting's "Tao Shuo" from the Qing dynasty for Chinese ceramics. He also had a friendship with the eleventh generation of the Raku family, Keinyu, and selected the "Chōjirō Shichishu" himself, which is included in the fifth volume of this book.
