The bean-shaped short strip initially has the haiku poet's name, "Kisa," followed by the numbers 1 to 20. "1-20" indicates the order in which the Tokiwa collection was published, with 20 volumes in total. The place of publication is "Minakuchi." Matsuoka Chazan, who settled in Echigo-Mitsuke, continuously published the Umegusa-shi and Tokiwa collection annually for 29 years, from Tenpo 3 to Bunkyu 1. These haiku books feature not only the haiku poets from the vicinity of Mitsuke but also poets from various parts of Echigo and across the country. Chazan was praised as "Chazan of Hokue," and his name became known not only in Echigo but also throughout the country.
