Japanese: 江戸真砂六十帖 - えどまさごろくじゅうじょう
The Sixty Chapters of Edo Masago
Essays. Author unknown. Published around 1760. Five volumes of manuscripts. A record of unusual events that occurred in Edo that the author, who was born in 1689 (Genroku 2), witnessed. Topics include the extravagance of Ishikawa Rokubei's wife, Genroku gold dubbing, Naraya Mozaemon, Eiichicho, Eitai Bridge, Kinokuniya Bunzaemon, and the originator of actor voice tones. There is a 10-volume Hiromoto version, which is an alternate version, and includes information on Tenichibo, the direct appeal box, Ooka Echizen no Kami, Fukai Shidoken, Nihonzaemon, and the lanterns of Shin Yoshiwara. It is an excellent source of information about what Edo was like in the mid-Edo period.
