This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1880, compiled by Takeda Kōrai and illustrated by Ōsō Yoshitoshi, published by Funatsu Tadajirō, aimed at a general reading public. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with figures in patterned kimono and a rustic street scene, offering a designer strong examples of crowded text-and-image layout and striped and dotted textile patterns.
