About this work
Description
A manuscript copy of the anatomical sections of an early 14th-century work by Kajiwara Shōzen, possibly Ton’ishō (頓医抄), containing polychrome and line illustrations showing internal organs and acupuncture charts, with text in katakana-majiri. The cover, which gives the title 五臓六府十二経脉, is not contemporary with the text and was added later.
