Saikaku IHARA wrote in Nihon Eitaigura as follows: 'if there isn't Maruyama in Nagasaki, silver will safely arrive at Kamigata (Kyoto and Osaka area), so the business of 爰通ひ, concerns at sea and unpredictable love wind are feared.'
井原西鶴は日本永代蔵に「長崎に丸山という処なくば、上方銀無事に帰宅すべし、爰通ひの商い、海上の気遣いの外、いつ時を知らぬ恋風恐ろし」と記した。
