- 華坊素善撰による琉球紹介の地理書。天明8(1788)年、本屋彦右衛門刊。他に架蔵のない稀書である。前半の四分の一程度が著者による聞き書きで、残りの部分は「華夷通商考」および「紅毛談」からの引用である。江戸期に刊行された琉球関係の書物のうち、一般民衆を対象にした最初期の地理紹介書である。影印・翻刻・解説が『江戸期琉球物資料集覧』に所収されている。This book is an introduction to the geography of Ryukyu, edited by Kabō Motoyoshi/Sozen and published by Motoya Hikoemon in 1788. It is a rare book which can be found only in the Sakamaki-Hawley Collection. The first one fourth of the book consists of interviews the author transcribed, and the rest is excerpts from <I>Kai Tsūshōkō</I> (A Study of Commerce with China and Europe), and <I>Oranda Banashi</I> (Dutch Stories). It is one of the first geography books intended for the general public, out of many Ryukyu-related books published during the Edo period. A facsimile copy as well as a <I>honkoku</I> transcription into the modern Japanese writing system, and a brief summary can be found in the book <I>Edoki Ryūkyū Mono Shiryō Shūran</I> (A Collection of Books <br>and Studies on Ryukyu during the Edo Period).
