Picture Book of Life in the Capital (Ehon miyako zōshi)
Ehon miyako zōshi is an 18th-century Japanese illustrated picture book by Nishikawa Sukenobu, published in Kyoto in 1746 by Kikuya Kihei for general readers of the urban middle class. Its double-page woodblock spreads show townswomen, travellers and outings in ink line with short poem columns, and a designer might take their economical contour line, open white space and layered figure groupings.
