Collection of confessions - Kyohakushu

This is a collection of poems and essays by Kinoshita Choshoshi. In addition to the published version in 1649 (Keian 2), there are also manuscripts with different arrangements. The published version was compiled by Yamamoto Harumasa from the work of his disciples Utsuta Kinnori and Kagenoki, and the first five volumes are a collection of poems, while the last five volumes are a collection of writings. The collection of writings contains 58 pieces of writing starting with "Yamakaki," of which "Unaimatsu," which mourns the premature death of his daughter, is the most powerful. After the publication of this work, the conservative Matsunaga Teitoku faction published the controversial book "Nankyohakushu" (published in 1650) under the name of Jinkyubo, which caused a stir, with "Kyohakushinhyo" (published around 1651) being written in defense of Choshoshi.

木下長嘯子(ちょうしょうし)の歌文集。1649年（慶安2）刊の刊本のほか、編成の異なる写本がある。刊本は、門弟打它公軌(うつたきんのり)・景軌父子が整理したものを山本春正が編集したもので、前半5巻が歌集、後半5巻が文集。文集には「山家記」以下58編の文章を収めるが、なかでも娘の夭折(ようせつ)を悼む「うなゐ松」は雄編。なお本書の刊行後、保守派の松永貞徳一派から尋旧坊の名で論難書『難挙白集』（1650刊）が出版され、これに対し、長嘯子を弁護する立場から『挙白心評』（1651ころ刊）が著されるなどの反響を呼び起こした。
