I found this string bound book at the library among all the other culture books. The cover is fabric coated paper and the pages are printed in that way where the really thin paper is folded in half and then bound (so you can have two sided pages and the ink doesn't soak through.) This volume covers religion, "culture," and popular practice. (Last time I checked religion and popular pratice both count as "culture," but ok.) It's like an encyclopedia of Japanese pratices, festivals, beliefs, etc. Pretty nifty. Feels nice to hold in your hand. Smells old :D It's from 1949.
