Wikipedia definition
2. Japanese books​The book in Japan has had a long history, beginning in the late eighth century AD. The majority of books were hand-copied until the Edo period (1603–1867), when woodblock printing became comparatively affordable and widespread. Movable-type printing had been used from the late sixteenth century, but for various aesthetic and practical reasons woodblock printing and hand-copied remained dominant until much later. Japanese equivalents for 'book' include 本 (hon) and 書籍 (shoseki).
