This document was reportedly written by Kensei, some time after the events that it describes. It starts by stating that around the 2nd year of Chōkyō, the year of the revolt against Masachika, and following on from the Ōnin War, the `Senpō shū` of Kaga and their Kokujin allies (the allies of the shugo) had attempted to hold on to and prevent incursions into the `temple and shrine` properties of Kaga, yet they found that their hard effort could not halt the depredations. Whilst this was continuing, members of the Monto approached Masachika, stating that they would return the territory to their owners, including those lands of the shugo, thus making things as they were before. Upon reaching consensus on this decision, a message was sent to the shugo who was currently in camp in Ōmi province (involved in the suppression of the Rokkaku family), asking for a bit of his time.

After much debate, a message was relayed back to the Honganji Monto refusing their request. A plan was then created to overthrow the shugo, with each pledging himself and others to upholding this task. Togashi Yasutaka, who was acting as general at the time, spoke with his retainers, with messages then sent to each warrior household. At first the samurai of Echizen and Etchū declared their loyalty to the Togashi. After the death of the shōgun in Ōmi, each of the shōen owners of Kaga became worried, for by the six month (of Chōkyō 2) nothing could be done for Takao castle. What this document was attempting to do was explain how relations were between the Monto and the shugo before the attack on Takao castle. Obviously it has a pro-Honganji stance through its insistence that the Monto were prepared to return all lands seized by the Monto . Then it merely states that he gave up this opportunity. As the document was written sometime before the early 17th century, its accuracy can be brought into question, and would be best regarded as another form of secondary source.
