  Full page illustrations of plants/grains; Latin names given in Roman alphabet, Japanese names provided in both Katakana and Kanji; placards indicating name(s) of each grain/plant appears to be much later addition (attached directly to pages with adhesive); otherwise, no written script -- only illustrations; inserted tag suggests that the two volumes may have been intended to be part of a larger work.
