絵本金花談 巻之6 2冊

速水春暁斎 画 · 前川源七郎 · 10 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book, volume 6 of two, illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai and published by Maekawa Genshichiro, likely in Edo-period Japan for a general reading audience. Its woodblock-printed pages show garden walks, a seated figure on a wooden bridge, and a figure at a table with a swirling wave and calligraphic captions. A designer might take the bold, economical linework, the flat black ink shapes of rocks and foliage, and the open white space around figures.
