This is an old, bound Japanese book from the late Edo period, titled "Imoseyama Kamashichi Shisha-dono, Volume 4." Published by Kashimaya Seisuke of Funamachi, Osaka. It is a volume of kusazoshi (illustrated fiction) based on the representative Edo period didactic play, "Imoseyama Onna Teikin." The richly printed woodblock text on soft washi paper is beautiful, and one can feel the energy of the brushstrokes and the depth of the ink. The book consists only of the text, without illustrations, and the flowing kana-mixed script provides a deep sense of flavor. While there is some yellowing and staining due to aging, the paper quality is solid and the preservation condition is good. It is highly valuable as a historical material for Edo culture and literary history, and is recommended for collections, the study of old books, and as a photography prop. We will sell it to those who understand old books. #OldBooks #JapaneseBooks #EdoPeriod #ImoseyamaOnnaTeikin #WoodblockPrinting #Kusazoshi #KashimayaSeisuke #ClassicalLiterature #HistoricalMaterials #OldDocuments #Antiques #AntiqueBooks #JapaneseBoundBooks #JapaneseCulture #OldBookCollection #PeriodPieces #EdoLiterature #ClassicalBooks
