Antique, Meiji Period, Year 4 of Meiji (1871), Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land Buddhism), Shinshu Otani-ha (East Honganji), Shakumyo Nyo, Gosho (Buddhist Writings), Certificate Book? Gosho Box, Wooden, Buddhist, Wasan Box (Hymn Box), Kyohon Box (Sutra Book Box), Antiques, Period Piece, Item from Storage, Japanese Book, Old Book Unearthed during a storage cleanup. It's an old item, so there are scratches and stains. The Gosho has annotations in red ink. It appears to say "Meiji 4th Year, Kanoto-hitsuji (辛未), Shakumyo Nyo" on the last page. Could this be a certificate book by Otani Kozon, the 21st head of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji-ha? I'm not sure of the details as it was found during a cleanup, so please judge from the photos. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for something in good condition or if you are overly sensitive. Sold as is. Approximate Size: 23.6 x 17 x 5.5 cm Please forgive slight errors as this is amateur measurement.
