This volume contains lots of suspicious descriptions such as a grandfather of Hideyoshi was the nobility called Hagi Chunagon (vice-councilor of state) and Hideyoshi's mother worked at the Imperial Court; for this reason, historians of later generations put less importance on this volume.
秀吉の祖父が萩中納言と呼ばれる貴人であり、大政所は宮中に出仕していたなど信憑性を疑われる記述が多いため、後世の歴史家からは重視されていない。
