This is a 1761 Japanese picture book (ehon) published in Edo by Yoshimojiya Ichibei and co-published with another firm, with illustrations by Tsukioka Settei, compiled by Torikai Suiga, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock-printed pages show courtly figures in layered patterned robes set in interiors with screens, mats and sliding doors, drawn in fine black outline with pale colour washes, offering a designer strong examples of kimono pattern, sparse interior composition and restrained linework.
