Reading Iki from its old records
These 51 pieces draw on 2 books, named below with the year each was finished. The older of them is a gazetteer of the island: the former lord of the Hirado domain ordered it in 1850 (Kaei 3), and a shrine priest on Iki finished it eleven years later, in twenty-five volumes. The other is a record of the island's shrines. Both are out of copyright, and we have put passages from them into modern Japanese. The pieces themselves are in Japanese, and they describe the island as it was then, not as it is now.
Where they come from
- Iki Meishō Zushi (壱岐名勝図誌), 1861 (Bunkyū 1) 40
- Iki Jinja Shi (壱岐神社誌), 1926 (Taishō 15) 11

Book titles are romanised, not translated — a translated title would be our reading of the book rather than its name. Each piece names the volume it draws on, in Japanese.
