The Tannisho Book, typeset on paper (second proof) (third proof)

Suzuki and Tosui Imadate's English translation of the Tannishō. After
Shinran's (1173-1262) death, his disciples from the Kantō region of Japan became
upset with the growing dissent against what they saw as the genuine faith taught
by Shinran. One of his immediate disciples, Yuien of Kawawada, Hitachi no Kuni,
wrote this work with the intention of clarifying and preserving Shinran's
authentic creed.
The above sample was published in 1928 by the Eastern
Buddhist Society, an organization founded by Suzuki.
