My thanks to Luke Roberts for spotting and buying me this book, a post-1799 copy of the Rikuyu engi 六諭衍義, a Chinese book of essays on morals first introduced to Japan by the scholar-official 程順則 in 1714, and first published in Japan in 1722.

One of many examples of things introduced from Luchu into , and a neat thing to get to show in class.
