1. At the time of Genyu-in (the Fourth Shogun Ietsuna TOKUGAWA), there is a small island with a circumference of approximately 2.2km on the way towards Takeshima (present-day Utsuryo Island (Ulleungdo)). It was a rock island with no grass nor trees. Having received this island from the Shogun with the help of Mr. Shirogoro ABE 25 years ago, I sailed for this island and worked to get a small amount of sea lion oil. This small island is about 235km away across the sea from Fukuura, Dogo, Oki Province.

| Content | A record of the Oya family lineage and the origin of sailing for Takeshima (present-day Utsuryo Island (Ulleungdo)). In the early 17th century in the Edo Period, the Oya and Murakawa families of Yonago received permission from the Shogunate to fish at Takeshima (present-day Utsuryo Island (Ulleungdo)), and also fished at Matsushima (present-day Takeshima) along the way to Takeshima (present-day Utsuryo Island (Ulleungdo)). Believed to have been hand-copied by Seishu OKAJIMA, the 8th generation of the Okajima family lineage, 1868. |
