Although it’s a recent expression, it’s the same meaning as “Do it nice” or “Please say it in a good way.”

According to the Japanese dictionary, Anjou is said to have changed from “ajiyoku” to “ajiyou” to “Anjou”.

My father and my grandfather are from Kyoto, and they use “anjou” often. Few people in ages of Kurama Tengu use this word. It is commonplace in the world of classical rakugo though.
