A rare and fascinating Japanese woodblock-printed arithmetic manual (算盤指南 / abacus guide), dating from the late Edo to early Meiji period (19th century). This educational work is dedicated to the use of the soroban (Japanese abacus) and traditional calculation methods, offering a remarkable insight into how mathematics was taught in pre-modern Japan. The book is richly illustrated with numerous diagrammatic representations of abacus operations, numerical tables, and step-by-step calculation methods. These visual explanations make it both a historical document and an aesthetically compelling object. The text is printed in classical Japanese script (kuzushiji) using traditional woodblock techniques, characteristic of the period. Thanks to check carefully the pictures. Protected in a box.
