Gokusaishiki Musume Dōjōji Jōruri-bon, Edo period, woodblock printed, old book

This is "Gokusaishiki Musume Dojoji," a Joruri script published in the late Edo period.

It's a woodblock print by Genjiro Tamagawa, and one of the Joruri works that vividly depicts the stage play "Dojoji Monogatari."

The gradations of ink and the energy of the brushstrokes are beautiful, and the texture of the washi paper also gives a sense of the times.

Although there are age-related wrinkles and stains on the cover and pages, the legibility of the text is good, making it a valuable resource for conveying the printing culture of the time.

A recommended book for classical performing arts, Japanese books, and antique collections. It also has a presence as a Japanese interior decoration.
