About This Item
4to. 255 x 200 mm. 20 double sheets. With text and 30 full-page drawings with the
traces of the energy channels. Kanji text, black ink, meridian lines indicated with red and blue ink. Original wrappers; signs of wear, wormholes and some
small losses that do not affect the drawings.
Compiled for teaching purposes, this major 17th century Japanese treatise presents itself as a tool for learning the acupuncture technique. The thirty
drawings trace the fourteen major meridians and accurately indicate the most important sanjiao points, channels and where to place appropriate needles. Each
illustration is accompanied by a title concerning the energy channel depicted and some technical notes. At the end in three sheets is a thick text in cursive
writing. A purchase note written by a Buddhist monk appears with the date Bunka 4 (1807). The title is written on the upper cover and also on the recto of the
first sheet.
Early acupuncture manuscripts are extremely rare on the market.
