Publisher: Likely Edo or Kyoto Imprint
Condition: Very Good
A Late Edo Period, early 19th century edition of the Kana Yomi Juushi Keichihou, also known as the Kana Readings of the Fourteen Classics. This is the second volume of two, focusing on ancient acupuncture and moxibustion techniques, with six full-page woodblock anatomical diagrams, heavily labelled, with pressure points noted as ell.
The title page and publisher leaves are lacking, making it rather difficult to identify the exact edition this is.
The original text block has been fully rebound in a modern stitching.
One volume in octavo (22 x 15.8 cm), 39 leaves
This volume is in very good shape, with minimal wear or rubbing to the rebind. There is some damp staining to the upper margins, affecting some of the text. Some of the lower corners are dogeared.
