絵本八千代草 3巻

鈴木春信 画 · 1768 · 山崎金兵衛 · 44 pictures

This Edo-period Japanese picture book (ehon) in three volumes was illustrated by Suzuki Harunobu and published in 1768 by Yamazaki Kinbei for a general urban readership. Its woodblock prints show townspeople in interiors and streets, with figures in layered kimono, rendered in fine ink outlines on warm paper with calligraphic captions and speech balloons, offering a designer simple, economical compositions where gesture and crowding carry the scene.
