葛飾北斎喜多川歌麿画帖
This is a Japanese illustrated album of woodblock prints, a picture book (ehon) published in Japan in the nineteenth century for a general readership of townspeople. The pages show beauties in the Utamaro manner and landscapes in the Hokusai manner. Designers can take from them the flat colour fields, bold black outlines, and patterned kimono textiles of Edo-period printmaking.
