〔江戸高名会亭尽〕 〔池之端〕(収載資料名:広重画帖)

1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture album, titled in kanji as a view from Edo's famous teahouses at Ikenohata, likely made in the 1830s by Utagawa Hiroshige for a general audience of print collectors. The scene shows a teahouse veranda over water with guests in patterned kimono seated at low tables, a blossoming plum tree, a pine-lined shore and a distant hillside. A designer might take the flat layered planes, the dense pattern of textiles, and the tight diagonal composition that places figures, tree and shoreline across the sheet.
