Japanese Traditional art book

[jackundai]

I have tried translating it online but I think I need a native Japanese speaker!
Any help at all would be very much appreciated. You may have to tilt your head!

Many thanks!

Three pics of the inside cover:

Printed December 5, 1906 (from the third image). The other two don't really show anything particularly interesting.

When photographing things like that:

1. Have the camera parallel to the page. That will help to keep more of the image in focus.

2. Have ample light. A couple of desk lamps on opposite sides will work well. The closer you have a single light to what you're shooting, the darker some of it will be (due to the inverse square law). If you only have one light, a really bright one farther away is better than a less bright one really close.

What sort of information about the book were you hoping to get?

I got some better pictures

Album Archive - Drop Box

That's a folder with the pictures in it. Any details would be great. What type of art style is that?

Title of the book is 葛飾北斎日新除魔帖.
Hokusai Katsushika (a famous Ukiyo-e artist during Edo era : 1760-1849) is said to draw a shishi (Japanese style lion) first thing in the morning when he was 84 years old (1842-1843), and this book should be a collection of those shishi he drew, consists of approx. 180 drawing of shishi and approx. 40 drawings of shishi-mai (a person dancing with the headdress looks like shishi).

Thank you so much It is nice to know what I have.
Would Nisshin Jomajo be a fair description I think that means daily exorcisms
