MS Japanese 126

An early 17th century woodblock printed work about food for the treatment of illnesses, with extensive furigana. The author of this work, a man named Baiju, was himself a doctor who had been a pupil of Yoshida Sōjun (also known as Ian) 吉田宗恂（意安）and he was also a prolific publisher of medical books in the early years of the 17th century. This work was first published in 1626 in the form of a typographic edition but this copy is from a group reproduced shortly afterwards in a woodblock facsimile with added furigana.
