Compiled in 1853 by Hayashi Fukusai, Miyazaki Seishin, and twelve others associated with the Shôheizaka gakumonjo, it spans the period from 1566 to 1825. Descriptions of Japan's relations are organized chronologically within sections divided by country, across 350 volumes.
The text was reprinted in moveable type and published in eight volumes, from 1912-1913.
A 23 volume appendix on coastal defenses, Tsûkô ichiran zokushû, was published as well. It covers events from 1829/8 to 1851/5, in a total of 152 volumes. This too was edited by Miyazaki Seishin, along with Hayashi Ôkei (the son of Hayashi Fukusai) and sixteen others, from 1853 or 1854 until 1856.
