This is an 1883 Japanese picture book (ehon) in volume four of its series, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published by Sekine Kōsuke in Tokyo for general readers of woodblock-printed fiction. The pages pair woodblock figures of kimono-clad women and men with columns of vertical Japanese text, with hatched patterned robes, striped garments and interior screens that a designer could draw on for textile or border motifs.
