〔江戸高名会亭尽〕 柳嶋之図(収載資料名:広重画帖)
A colour woodblock print from the Hiroshige picture album series, catalogued in Japanese under the title 柳嶋之図 and shown here as a single sheet of Edo-period ukiyo-e. It depicts a riverside teahouse scene in Edo, likely made for a general urban audience. The picture shows three women in patterned kimono walking along a waterside path past a two-storey teahouse with a blue-tiled roof, a red-painted railing and a wooden bridge over the water, with a yellow fan-shaped cartouche in the upper right; a designer could take its flat planes of colour, layered perspective and stylised foliage as a model for graphic composition.
