This image depicts an old book with a red cover, worn at the edges and corners, suggesting it has been handled quite a bit. The spine of the book shows signs of wear and there is some visible damage, where parts of the cover are peeling or have come off completely. There are two labels on the spine with East Asian (possibly Japanese) characters, and there's an additional label or tag at the bottom of the book's spine with a number on it, likely an identifier for cataloging purposes.
On the bottom right corner of the book's front cover, there's an English label that reads "ORIENTALIA Pamphlets and Magazine Excerpts" and below that, there's additional text providing specific details about the book:
"Yamada Yatei.
Hannya-Shingyo, Wakunyo. Illustrated by - Hannyo. Two volumes. A Japanese reading of a selection from a Buddhist Scripture, Hannyo-kyo, with copious annotations. Kokwa 3 (1846)."

The image depicts two volumes of an old Japanese book placed side by side. The books have bright orange covers with visible signs of aging and wear, such as creased edges and faded, worn patches. The cover also has a subtle embossed pattern.
Each volume features a vertical cream-colored label with Japanese script written in black ink. The label on the left volume appears slightly tattered at the edges. The bookbinding on the right volume includes a visible binding string along the edge.
