This rare Meiji-era volume, "Shoni Yōiku Kinso," is a richly illustrated medical text focused on pediatric care, traditional medicine, and early childhood development. Printed in Meiji 3 (1870) on washi paper with woodblock printing, the book offers valuable insights into traditional medical practices, including care for newborns, diseases, and traditional treatments.
Although it shows visible signs of aging, including stains, damage to the cover, and numerous folds, this volume remains a fascinating artifact from Japan's medical history. A compelling piece for collectors of historical medical texts and Edo-to-Meiji period literature.
