This is a used antique item. It is in good condition for the age. Has some wear, grubby marks to the outer cover. Inside the pictures are very good. One broken thread on the binding. The size is 7×5 known as O-Bon size book. Made to be carried in a pocket so it could be looked at through the day. This is made with traditional papers, end papers are recycled – this was traditional due to the high cost of new paper at the time. There are several pages of Japanese script and surprise I can’t read that! Several of the 40 images have been shown to give you a clear idea of the book content. Pages are folded to the leading edge not cut as they would be on an English book. The covers are soft and appear to be a sort of waxed paper. Please View the photos they show the condition clearly. We love getting questions on our items!!! No colour can be guaranteed as an exact replica of the original in life. If possible with a ruler or tape in the photos. Photos need to be close up and very clear before we can make a decision. Sorry if this is complex but it’s how it is. All items are antique or vintage and will have had a life. We try to find all faults but are human so sometimes we miss a thing.
