The Okamoto Kyōsai Zatcho is a collection of Okamoto Yasutaka's works[1] in 226 volumes.[1] (Yasutaka's art name was Kyōsai,[1] while zatcho means "various writings".)
It was compiled, by an unknown editor,[1] from 155 pieces by Yasutaka[1] that had come into the holdings of Seikadō Bunko (静嘉堂文庫).[1] Said holdings included Yasutaka's original manuscripts,[1] his copied manuscripts,[1] and his textbooks with handwritten notes.[1] The Zatcho is considered the most important collection of writings by Yasutaka.[1]
