The Ogasawara Encyclopedia of Etiquette (Ogasawara Shoreitaizen) 小笠原諸礼大全 (おがさわらしょれいたいぜん)

1809 Japanese Samurai Etiquette Ogasawara Daimyo 2v Woodblock Tea Ceremony Meiji

An interesting 19th century woodblock-print of 'The Ogasawara Encyclopedia of Etiquette' writing the rules of etiquette for Samurai prior to the Meiji Era. Ian Neary states,

"The Ogasawara school, known for its subdued style and elegance, published numerous books on the subject that included an etiquette book for standing and bowing, the familiar three-tiered Japanese bow of today, which were necessary for the first time in Meiji Japan with the Western-style architecture and standing culture."

This rare 1809 edition is written in the typical column handwritten format with furigana usage for easier reading with excellent illustrations throughout of different etiquette rules of Samurai bowing to each other, other Lords and Daimyo, tea ceremonies, present giving, and much more!
