Subject:large scroll/book from isseido bookstore
Posted By: Larry Fri, Jun 21, 2019 IP: 104.142.126.185

Hello,

A friend has asked me if I had any idea about a scroll she had on consignment.
As far as I could tell it was a very long 'book/scroll' consisting of what I believe were reproductions of a 17th century story told in pictures.
Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the images, just the title, the paper insert and the retailer's label "Isseido" inside the box lid.

Appreciate any help with translations of title etc.

Thanks

Larry
