絵本金花夕映 : 一名・唐金藻右衛門金花夕映 4

梅暮里谷峨 著 ;閑閑樓北嵩 画 · 前川源七郎 · 9 pictures

This Edo-period Japanese picture book (ehon, volume 4) was written by Baisatogoku Tanga and illustrated by Kankanrou Hokusui, published by Maekawa Genshichirou for a popular readership. Its black-and-white woodblock pages show crowded domestic interiors, garden views, and sword fights, giving designers examples of dense multi-figure compositions, patterned kimono textures, and ink-line economy.
