〔江戸高名会亭尽〕 〔下谷広小路〕(収載資料名:広重画帖)
A Japanese woodblock ehon picture book by Utagawa Hiroshige, published by Fujihiko, drawn from his series on famous Edo teahouses and restaurants, showing urban leisure for townspeople of the Edo period. The print shows a riverside scene: a veranda room opening onto a lake with a pavilion and trees beyond, where diners sit on mats around low tables while a geisha in a red kimono plays a shamisen and a woman kneels in the foreground. Its flat colour areas, strong diagonal veranda lines and framing of interior against distant landscape offer a designer a clear model for layered planes and a calm palette of blue water with warm interior tones.
