No writing in the main text. The date, likely the purchase date, is written in the margin of the publication information (Image 10). There is age-related yellowing, scuffing, and slight soiling (above the character "醴" in Image 8). The slipcase has age-related yellowing, scuffing, and soiling. There is a signature and seal on the back of the slipcase. (Judging from the name, I believe this item was originally owned by a member of the Shokai group, a disciple of Hōsui. It is written in a careful kaisho and gyosho style, hinting at the Hōsui school.) Overall, there is a sense of use, but it is relatively clean.
