Matsuura Seizan's Kasshi Yawa

[Alexander Bay]

Dear PMJS academic sanga-
I am at a small liberal arts school in Orange County
and need to access Matsuura Seizan's Kasshi Yawa (this
will probably come through as mojibake but I'll try
anyway
松浦静山の甲子夜話).
I have a passage from a secondary Japanese source that
of course does not give a specific citation. The
passage is a quote from Hayashi Jussai
(林述斎) on the changing times and
the changes in people's afflictions.
If anyone has used this text or knows approximately
which volume of Kasshi Yawa Matsuura discusses the
thoughts of Hayashi Jussai, I would appreciate hearing
from you. It will help me narrow which UC library I
have to make a road trip to to find the original and
check the quote (which probably is not reproduced
faithfully in the secondary source I have).
Many thanks in advance,
Alex Bay

"Ahhhh, home sweet homebrew! The beauty of it all! The regulations are quite simple: brew it for personal consumption and don't sell it. No label laws, no alcohol limts and no ingredient limitations. Homebrewing is a personal thing. It's a statement about you. It is an interpretation of your priorities and an expression of the freedom you've been given. I don't know of any other hobbies that express themselves as wonderfully as homebrewing."

Alexander,

I am a big fan of faculty at small liberal arts colleges making friends with their interlibrary loan staff specifically so they don't have to go on hunting expeditions.

Kasshi Yawa has been reprinted in a Toyo Bunko edition - which is available in print or as an ebook. 

The ebook version is available to people who subscribe to the JapanKnowledge database. It is also sold separately www.ebookjapan.jp

The print copy is easily available through interlibrary loan if you supply the OCLC number to your library: 4309303 

To check this yourself, use http://www.worldcat.org

Having said that, I agree it would be much easier to have someone point you to the right page. Second to that, searching an ebook is definitely faster than browsing if you know the right words to use.

Cheers from Smith College today
