Seisai's notes - Seisai Zakki

Japanese: 誠斎雑記 - せいさいざっき

Miscellaneous writings compiled by Mukoyama Seisai (Atsu, Gendayu). The original titles were taken from the zodiac sign of the year they were compiled, and were titled Boxu Zakki (1838 (Tenpo 9)) and so on until Teiwei Zakki (1847 (Koka 4)). After that, there were works titled Boshin Zaktsu (1848 (Kaei 1)) and so on up to Heijin Zaktsu (1856 (Ansei 3)), the year of the editor's death. The copies held by the Historiographical Institute of the University of Tokyo, which mainly contain Seisai's handwritten works, were donated by his adopted son Mukoyama Koson, and contain 93 volumes of miscellaneous writings and 86 volumes of miscellaneous writings, with many missing copies, making the original compilation a very large series.

Japanese:

向山（むこうやま）誠斎(篤，源大夫)が編述した雑書。原題は編述した年の干支をとって〈戊戌雑記〉(1838(天保9))などと題したものが〈丁未雑記〉(1847(弘化4))まで，この年以後は〈戊申雑綴〉(1848(嘉永1))など雑綴と題するものが編者の死没した1856年(安政3)の〈丙辰雑綴〉まである。誠斎自筆本を主とする東京大学史料編纂所の蔵本は，彼の養子向山黄村の寄贈したものであるが，雑記93冊，雑綴86冊を存し，なお多くの欠本を数えるから，原編はきわめて大部の叢書であった。
