絵本金花談 巻之3

速水春暁斎 画 · 前川源七郎 · 19 pictures

This Edo-period Japanese picture book, Ehon kinka dan volume three, was illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai and published in Japan by Maekawa Genshichirō for general readers. Its woodblock-printed pages show crowded domestic and riverside scenes with rippling water, lanterns, and robed figures in tight, dynamic line work that suggests strong models for designers working on compositions with flowing patterns and stylised movement.
