These photos are of an antique printed book that Wayne Tompkins purchased some time ago. I admit I don't know much about it, but it appears to be hand-printed stamps, as from a Japanese はんこ。The book was hundreds of pages long, with dozens of stamps on each page. Some were kanji, some intricate designs of animals (tiny cute rabbits and moths, that may have influenced みやざきさん—Miyazaki), or traditional icons (さくら—cherry blossoms, fans, maple leaves), some more abstract. The paper was thin yet strong, with a great texture. I probably sat & studied it for an hour, but could have spent all day!
