This is an illustrated Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published in 1886 in Japan by Maki Kinnosuke for general readers. Its woodblock-style pages show seated figures in patterned kimono indoors and in snow, with columns of Japanese text running beside the scenes. A designer could draw on its strong figure silhouettes, patterned textile motifs, and compact text-and-image page layouts.
