絵本江戸錦 第１冊
This is a 1804 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) from Edo, published by Okumura Kihei, with text by Sakuragawa Jihei and pictures by Utagawa Toyoharu, made for general readers of popular urban views. The pictures are colour woodblock prints in soft ochre, green and pink, showing bridges, crowded streets, boats on rivers and temple grounds drawn from elevated viewpoints, a useful model for layered landscape composition and for crowd scenes arranged along diagonal walkways.
