BOSAI, Kameda (1754 - 1826) |
Kyochuzan
'Mountains of the Heart' |
*
This publishing date in the colophon, Bunka 6 (1809), contradicts both the publishing dates given in the preface and postscripts
(Bunka 13, 1816) and was already questionable in the past. Printed letters and paper quality of this colophon are quite different from the
rest of the book. The 1809-dated colophon is wrong and should be understood as the result of careless bookbinder pasting.
