小桜姫風月奇観 : 絵本 (後記)巻之2
This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) written by Santo Kyozan and illustrated by Utagawa Kunisada, published by Okada Mohei and associates in Edo-period Japan for a popular readership. The three woodblock-style pages show a seated woman arranging flowers or small objects on a low table, a pair of figures kneeling on a mat beneath hanging plants, and a seated man in a richly furnished room with a tea table, screens and a garden view. The pictures are bold black line work with calligraphic text panels and open pictorial space, which a designer could use for studying Japanese line economy, interior layering and framing of figures against cloud and text cartouches.
