半井金陵作の浮世草子。安永６年（１７７７）、京都書林（寺町三条）菊屋安兵衛により刊行された。それとわかる程度に演劇界の実在者をとりあげて、その行状を暴露するこの作品は、浮世草子のマンネリ化から脱却する方向として、洒落本的な色彩をおびつつあるといわれる。本書は初版本。
An ukiyo-zoshi by Nakarai Kinryo, published in Kyoto by Kikuya Yasubei in 1777. The work is said to break out of the ukiyo-zoshi genre in drawing on actual figures from the performing world and making them models for fiction, coming closer in this colorful aspect to the sharebon. This is the first volume in a set of four.
