*''Japanese'': 中山伝信録物産考 ''(Chuuzan denshin roku bussan kou)''

''Chûzan denshin roku bussan kô'' ("Thoughts on Products [from/in the] ''Chûzan denshin roku''") was written and illustrated by ''[[honzogaku|honzôgaku]]'' scholar [[Tamura Ransui]] in [[1769]]. Drawing upon the ''[[Chuzan denshin roku|Chûzan denshin roku]]'', a [[1721]] Chinese work describing the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]], Tamura provides descriptions and full-color illustrations of a number of plants, animals, and local products of the kingdom.

Though this volume was never put into publication, eight manuscript copies of it survive, suggesting its popularity among intellectual circles at least.
