絵本匂扇子
A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) illustrated by Utagawa Toyokuni, dated 1789, with its pictures set beside columns of handwritten verse. The pictures show townspeople and women in kimono in interior and street scenes, drawn in fine black outline with light tonal patterning on the robes, which a designer could draw on for pattern work on textiles and for minimal line figure compositions.
