My thanks to Luke Roberts for spotting and buying me this #EdoPeriod #WoodblockPrinting 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 #Ryukyu #Luchu scholar-official #TeiJunsoku 程順則 in 1714, and first published in Japan in 1722.
One of many examples of things introduced from Luchu into #EarlyModernJapan, and a neat thing to get to show in class.
