It is one of the Noh book songs. It is also a Kanze-style Noh book song published in ancient print during the Keicho period from Momoyama to the beginning of the Edo period. It is called Koetsu Utaihon because it is written in Koetsu style typeface. There are three types: special book, color-changing book, and Josei fine book. The special book has the most beautiful binding, and the mica printing pattern by mica is printed on the cover and all the papers of the textbook. The color-changing book has a mica-printed pattern on the cover, the textbook part has a color-changing paper, and the Josei fine book has a mica-printed pattern on the cover, and the body part has a white paint with whitewash.
