The appeal Tanaka held in his hand on 10 Dec 1901. The majority of the text was written by fellow Ashio activist and journalist Kotoku Shusui. Tanaka's last minute edits with his name seal (hanko) in red can be seen between the lines of Kotoku's text. The original is on display at the Sano City Museum, Sano, Tochigi, Japan.
