Illustrated book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two adjacent pages from a book. The pages are yellowed. The left page features two line drawings of low tables or benches with four legs. The right page features one line drawing of a cutting board with a handle. The drawings are bordered by a black rectangle with Japanese characters written inside and outside. The characters are written in black ink. The pages are slightly worn and have visible signs of aging. The book appears to be an "Illustrated book" by an unknown artist.
