Tsujido-Hifushi's Tamasudare, a collection of ghost tales, was published in the first year of the Hoei Period. Many texts have been pointed out as its source books; Sento-shinwa, Sento-yowa, Sangoku-denki, Syaseki-syu, Konjaku-monogatari and so on. Here I would like to add to the list Shin-goen. Its influence is far from negligible because Tamasudare, especially as can be seen in its volumes 2-4, 3-2 and 3-3, very frequently quotes from Shin-goen.
