安藤広重 画 · 1894 · 博文館 · 48 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1894, published by Hakubunkan and attributed to Ando Hiroshige, offering woodblock-style prints of everyday objects, figures and scenes for a general reader. Its pictures are bold black-and-white line drawings with dense hatched patterns, showing costumed figures, a dignified man with a fan, lacquered boxes and sword fittings, and stacked folded paper, which a designer might borrow for pattern, figure silhouettes and Japanese decorative motifs.
