18th C. Japanese Edo Paper & Ink Ledger Book

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $250**

East Asia, Japan, Edo period, ca. 18th century CE. A massive paper and ink ledger book known as a daifuku-cho, with a braided hemp tassel intended for merchant use. The ledger is constructed with hundreds of long rectangular pages that are bound at the top with cotton threads. The tassel acts as a suspension loop and is tied to the binding threads. When a ledger was completed the tassel could then be looped on a rope with other ledgers that could be quickly gathered up if there was a fire or emergency. Each page has columns of writing in black ink and sections are marked with separate pieces of paper that protrude from the side, acting like index markers. Usually the bold characters on the front contained the words "daifuku cho" which translates to "good fortune;" a phrase that would hopefully create prosperous business transactions within the ledger. This is meticulous tome of record keeping! Size: 4.75" L x 5.25" W x 13" H (12.1 cm x 13.3 cm x 33 cm)
