Antique Japanese Gobunsho Ofumi 

This is an antique Japanese Buddhism Jodoshinshu sect collection of letters "Gobunsho or Ofumi."

Rennyo VIII, who is said to be the founder of the restoration of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, wrote down the teachings of Jodo Shinshu called 'Gobunsho' or 'Ofumi' in simple sentences to convey them to believers in an easy-to-understand manner. He has left about 80 letters.
