Kai Chigusa
Yoichiro Hirase published a four volume set between 1914 and 1922. This set, Kai Chigusa, or erroneously translated as Kai Sen Shu, was to have a total of ten volumes and include illustrations of one thousand shells. Unfortunately only four volumes were completed due to financial strains.
