絵本都の錦
This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) by Kitao Masayoshi, published in 1787 by Yoshinoya Tameya and partners, likely for a general readership interested in the capital's famous places. The pictures show woodblock views of Kyoto-area landscapes with rivers, hills, temples, and a wooden bridge, with calligraphic poem columns running along the top. A designer might draw on their pale ochre and green palette, layered horizon compositions, and the handling of mist and water.
