南島雑記 全 / Miscellaneous records of a southern island, complete

Completed in 1842. The editor is unknown. This is ethnography of Amami Ōshima in the early modern period. The contents of this book resemble those of the second part of Nantō Zatsuwa, which was published by Tōyō Bunko and edited by Nagoya Sagenta in 1984. Out of several copies of Nantō Zatsuwa , the one published by Tōyō Bunko was edited based on the book owned by Nagai Masafumi. This book is bound in the old Japanese style and on the title of the front cover page is a hand-written note “Nantō Zakki Zen.” Out of several copy groups of Nantō Zatsuwa, this book is presumably in the group owned by The Faculty of Agriculture Library, Kagoshima University (present-day Kagoshima University Library). This book contains copies of writs/letters of appointment, issued in 1587, 1607, and 1609 (Image No. 21-24).(Updated on August 13, 2015)
