Illustrated book

Two pages from an illustrated book by artist, showing text in black ink on yellowed paper. The pages are side by side. Each page has a black border around the text. The text is written in a non-Latin script, likely Japanese or Chinese characters. The characters are arranged in vertical lines, with some lines thicker and more prominent than others. The paper is yellowed and has a slightly worn appearance, with some darker spots and marks visible. The pages have rough edges. The background behind the pages is plain white.
