The bean-shaped short strip (tanzaku) begins with the haiku poet's name, "Itteki," followed by the numbers 1-20. "20" indicates the 20 volumes of the Tokiwa collection, representing the order in which they were published. The place of publication is "Minakuchi." Matsuoka Chazan, who settled in Echigo-Mitsuke, continuously published the Umegusazoshi and Tokiwa collection annually for 29 years, from Tenpo 3 to Bunkyu 1. These haiku collections feature not only poets from the Mitsuke area but also from various parts of Echigo and across the country. Chazan was praised as "Chazan of Hokue," and his name became known not only in Echigo but also throughout the country.
