"Unshu Tool Purchase Book" - Unshu Tool Purchase Book

...A catalog of tools collected by Matsudaira Fumai (Matsudaira Harusato), lord of Matsue Domain in Izumo Province (Shimane Prefecture). There are many similar books in circulation, called "Unshu Specialties Book" and "Unshu Tools Purchase Book," which are not consistent and have slightly different contents, so there is no original that can be used as a base. However, the original form of this book is thought to have been established in 1811 (Bunka 8), during Fumai's later years.

*Some of the terminology referenced in the "Unshu Tool Purchase Ledger" is listed below.
