The predecessor was a section titled "Japan's 60-odd provinces with over 10,000 koku of land" in the "Chidai Fukenki" published during the Kan'ei era (1624-44), but it was not until the "Shohobukan" (1647) that the book was fully organized, followed by the "Daimyo Bushikan" (1651, published by Nakano Jinbei at Nihonbashi, Edo), the "Chigyo-fu" (1656, published by Iseya), and the "Edo Kagami" (1659). Furthermore, the Honcho Bukekan, which included more detailed information, the Taihei Bukekan and Seiso Bukekan during the Genroku period (1688-1704), and the Shoen Bukekan and Itto Bukekan during the Hoei and Shōtoku periods (1704-16) were published.
