With illustrations of mudra (hand gestures) and other small illustrations. Very good, some wear and soil to covers, contents look very good. In worn papercovered wraparound slipcase with some taping by previous owner. The book appears to have been written by a monk named Goson with additions by a later monk or abbott in 1694 (Genroku 7).
