Late Edo period, Osaka, published by Kiyosuke Kajimaya This is the fourth volume of the Jōruri book "Hōfuraku." This book conveys the remnants of theatrical storytelling used in Gidayū-bushi and Kabuki scripts, and is a valuable old book with beautiful calligraphy and woodblock printing. The soft texture of Japanese paper and the gradation of ink remain. It contains valuable content for understanding the performing arts culture and story structure of the time. Both the cover and the text have age-related stains and folds, but the characters are dark and legible, and the overall atmosphere is good. Recommended as a historical material for Edo period literature and performing arts, and also for antique and old book collections. It's a book that allows you to feel the atmosphere of the time just by holding it. #OldBooks #JapaneseBooks #JōruriBooks #GidayūBushi #EdoPeriod #Kabuki #Scripts #WoodblockPrints #OsakaPublishing #KiyosukeKajimaya #HistoricalMaterials #OldDocuments #Antiques #AntiqueBooks #TheaterBooks #ClassicalLiterature #KamigataCulture #EdoCulture #OldBookCollection #PeriodPieces
