A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) of 1880, compiled by Takeda Kōrai and illustrated by Taiso Yoshitoshi, published in Tokyo by Funatsu Tadajirō for a popular readership. Its woodblock-style pages show figures in patterned kimono and rough street clothing set against dense columns of text, with bold black line work and little shading that a designer could draw on for graphic layouts.
