This appears to be a historical Japanese manuscript or document written in cursive Japanese script (likely Kuzushiji - a cursive form of Japanese writing used before modern times). The text is written vertically in columns from right to left on what appears to be aged paper or parchment with a yellowish or beige tone. The handwriting shows varying degrees of thickness in the brush strokes and contains numerous kanji and kana characters. The document seems to be well-preserved despite its apparent age. The writing style suggests this is likely from the Edo period or earlier in Japanese history. Without being able to read the specific cursive script, I cannot tell you the exact content, but documents in this style were often used for official records, literary works, or personal correspondence in pre-modern Japan.
