It is a Shift-JIS index to the Unihan tables, printed using a
commercial Japanese font.

They *are* the Han characters encoded in Unicode, and they *are*
printed in JIS X 0208 order, with Shift-JIS values.

Compare the charts for Code Page 932 in Nadine Kano's book, which are
comparable, but which include the Microsoft extensions to JIS X 0208.

*grumbles* I guess this just shows there is no pleasing everybody.
