Picture Album of the Floating World (Ukiyo efu 浮世画譜) : [volume 2]
Picture Album of the Floating World, volume 2, is a woodblock-printed pattern book by Ikeda Eisen, published in Nagoya in 1820 by Eirakuya Tōshirō for artists and craftsmen. Its double-page spreads show crowds of small figures, many drawn as quick studies of single people in varied poses, with street scenes, rivers, and mountain views framing them.
