Teiser argues that X20 was "probably put together by anonymous Japanese authors sometime between 1000 and 1300". Teiser gives a list of prior studies of the text p. 58 n. 28. The text is ascribed to Zangchuan 藏川, to whom is also ascribed the Chinese source text. Contents of the Japanese text are similar to the Chinese, with various additions. Teiser suggests that the language and literary form "shows that Chinese components were revised for a Japanese-speaking audience". Three extra hymns are added in wasan 和賛 style. Such measures "add considerably to the story told in the Chinese text". The content "attempts a fascinating synthesis of Chinese and Japanese materials", "weav[ing] into the text several features of the underworld unique to medieval Japan". As further evidence of Japanese composition, scholars have also pointed to the use of Japanese vernacular words like yomi no kuni (for the city of Yama) and "details of the subterranean administration that do not appear in Chinese accounts".
