An anthology of 400 seventeen-syllable verse poems, divided into ten sections, each introduced by Makoto Ueda. The comic poems poke fun at the ruling and warrior classes, foibles and habits of townsfolk, and other aspects of the human condition of Edo Japan (where adultery was apparently common place).
