Edo period Iga-goe Dōchū Sugoroku Jōruri script, old book, practice text

A Joruri script from the late Edo period:
"Iga no Koye Dochu Sugoroku" (Iga Crossing on the Road, Sugoroku).

This is a masterpiece that gained popularity in Kabuki and puppet Joruri,
and is also known as a representative work of loyal retainers.

This book is a handwritten training manual,
with kana characters written elegantly in bold brushstrokes,
and old handwritten notes with annotations in places.
It is a book that allows you to feel the breath of the performing arts culture of the time.

The cover has the ink inscription "Iga no Koye,"
and the back cover has "Aichi,"
which is thought to be a training manual or a collection stamp from a lending library.

There are signs of aging such as scratches, folds, yellowing,
and insect damage, but the text is readable.
The paper quality and binding, which have a sense of the times, are also attractive,
and it is recommended for classical performing arts materials, research, and interior decoration.

Sold as is, for those who understand old books.
