  1. Isotope ratios of 130 hair samples extracted from these book sets are available as Supplementary Tables S1S3.
  2. ID: document identification number by the National Institute of Japanese Literature, with which information including author name, title, and publication year is available in Japanese language at its web site (http://base1.nijl.ac.jp/infolib/meta_pub/G0001401KTG). Jbefore Latest year: printing year was only available from the preface. Lag: estimated elapsed time (year) after publication until printing (book sets with bold figures had two estimates different from each other by >30 years). *after City: printing city was estimated. Number of volumes: number of book volumes from which human hairs were extracted. Number of hairs: number of fragmented human hairs (of any length) observed in the book. Number of analysis: replications in the isotope analysis.
