Reading the primary source?
Does anyone know if there's an English translation of any of the primary sources of the legend (particularly Toen shōsetsu) available somewhere to read, either online or in print? I've tried searching my usual avenues, both by the Japanese title and by the translated title and turned up nothing, but I find it hard to believe that the original manuscript on display at the Mukyū-Kai-Toshokan is the only copy of the text in existence. Surely somebody transcribed it for publication. --BrokenEye3 (talk) 12:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
