It has a preface and post-preface written in March 1680 (Enpo 8), and is estimated to have been published in 1680 based on the publication date of the response (critical book) to this work. It also serves as a list of courtesans in Osaka Shinmachi, and describes the various aspects of the art of love (the way courtesans deal with customers). It is divided into 100 chapters, including "Hatsukanmuri" (first crown), "Tsuribari" (fish hook), "Koino Tebiki" (love guide), and "Kumoinotsuki" (clouds in the moon), and each chapter lists the name of the chapter and the name of the courtesan and Tenjin, and is structured so that the courtesan answers questions from customers.
