ANTIQUE "OURAIMONO" BOOK IN THE 1700S
This book is one of the textbooks for public people used in the Kyoho period in Japan (1716-1736). It's titled HITSUGYOKU YOUBUN MANPOU TAISEI.
These kinds of textbooks are called OURAIMONO and were used for improving general people's education.
The content varies from how to write polite letters and vocabulary about Samurai manner to how to play  Shogi (Japanese chess). The book also has many illustrations so that people can easily understand the content. Even if we can't fully decipher the writings, only watching these illustrations is interesting.
