This is a page from from a "Kusazōshi" (Woodblock printed illustrated literature)
From the middle of the Edo period to the middle of Meiji era, a kind of illustrated poular novel published in Edo was called "Kusazoshi" (草双紙).
It takes the form of double-leaved centerfold printing, and each page has a picture in which the illustrations and the texts are written in the space.
The texts are illegibly obscure in the picture.

With regards,
I.Nagy
