This is a manuscript of a Buddhist origin story, copied around 1781 (Tenmei 1) in the late Edo period.
It is a handmade, traditional Japanese bound book. The powerful brushstrokes of the ink and the annotations in red ink remain, allowing one to feel the breath of the era.
The cover is made of indigo-colored paper with signs of wear from the passage of time. The text shows age-related changes such as ink smudging, insect damage, and folding, but it is a valuable historical document that conveys the religious culture, sermons, and temple materials of the time.
The year of Tenmei is clearly stated, making it valuable as a resource for Edo period religious history, folklore studies, and the study of old manuscripts.
The texture of the Japanese paper, the brushwork, and the traces of red ink. Everything speaks of a time of craftsmanship.
Recommended for those interested in classical literature, religious history research, and antique book collecting.
