絵本金花談 巻之10

速水春暁斎 画 · 前川源七郎 · 1 picture

Hayami Shungyosai (速水春暁斎) illustrated this Japanese picture book (ehon) volume 10 of Ehon Kinka-dan, published by Maekawa Genshichirō, presumably in Edo-period Japan for a popular readership. Its single picture is a woodblock print of a leafy border framing a bank of tall vertical bars or stalks, with bamboo-like lines and foliage on the edges, showing how a designer could use dense repeated verticals with framed botanical margins.
