I believe the book to be from circa 1870. It appears to be a story of life in Japan. It appears to be a woodblock print with hand paint. It is an "accordion" style book where all the pages are connected and open like the bellows of an accordion. There are no English markings.
Great-Great Grandfather acquired the book in his travels from Japan. It has been passed down in the family with no details of how it was obtained.
