Japanese Woodblock Print Book
04 December 2022
Description
I believe the book to be from circa 1870. It appears to be a story of life in Japan. It appears to be a woodblock print with hand paint. It is an "accordion" style book where all the pages are connected and open like the bellows of an accordion. There are no English markings.
