A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, published by Kitaya Mago, showing crowded domestic and street scenes in Edo-period interiors. The pictures show dense groups of figures in patterned kimono seated behind lattice screens and paper lanterns, with a designer able to draw on their layered crowd composition, dense repeated textile patterns, and flat colour blocking.
