Detailed Solution

The oldest Japanese book is The Buddhist Diamond Sutra, printed in 868 AD. The book has 6 pages of sheet text and woodcut illustrations. The Diamond Sutra, the oldest Japanese book, is comparatively short, only 6,000 words, and is part of a larger canon of sacred texts, or "sutras, in Mahayana Buddhism.
