絵本金花夕映 : 一名・唐金藻右衛門金花夕映 5

梅暮里谷峨 著 ;閑閑樓北嵩 画 · 前川源七郎 · 10 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) in volume 5, written by Umebore Tanigaho and illustrated by Kankanro Hokusu, published by Maekawa Genshichiro, likely in the Edo period for a general popular readership. The woodblock-style pages show figures in outdoor and interior settings. A designer might take from them the compact figure groupings, the dense hatched ground and foliage, and the economical black line work that suggests space without shading.
