Acclaimed artists Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942) and Taniguchi Kōkyō (1864-1915) are listed in the colophon as two of the three advisors for the magazine, which was published monthly.

Yamada Naosaburō was the publisher, and his famed design company Unsōdō was the main distributor. A scarce issue of a little-known magazine produced by some of the finest zuanka of the early twentieth century.
