Libretto for the Noh Play Eguchi ( Kōetsu utaibon Kokatsuji ban "Eguchi" )
A Japanese libretto printed in 1596 for the noh play Eguchi, a text book for chanting performers rather than a picture book. Its pages carry calligraphic script in ink on paper, with decorative mica-sprinkled grounds and a brown-papered cover label, showing the Kōetsu-style printed lettering of early Edo-period publishing.
