The Mustard Seed Garden Painting Manual (Yakubon Kaishien gaden) 譯本芥子園畫傳

Two pages from a book opened side by side on a white surface. The pages are yellowed and aged. Each page has a large rectangle divided into two sections. The top section on each page is smaller and contains writing. The bottom section on each page is larger and contains multiple columns of writing. The writing on both pages appears to be in a non-Latin script, likely Chinese characters. The pages have dark brown binding visible at the top and bottom. The background behind the book is plain white.
