絵本以呂波歌 3巻
An illustrated Japanese picture book in three volumes, published in 1788 by Kawachiya Hachibei and a partner, with woodblock illustrations by Suzuki Harunobu. Its pages pair kana verses in columns with genre scenes of townspeople, women and attendants on verandas and in courtyards. A designer might take its spare linework, open figure groupings and calligraphic text panels as a model for layout.
