恋合端唄づくし あさかほ・阿曽次郎（収載資料名：豊国画帖）
This Japanese ehon picture book was made by the artist Toyokuni, published in 1860 by Wakayo, and aimed at a general readership of popular print buyers in Edo-period Japan. The first picture shows a kimono-clad man with a fan beside a woman with an elaborate hairpin in a ukiyo-e style, while the second is a bold calligraphic title panel with green bird motifs and printed text. A designer could take the strong black brushed lettering set against flat teal shapes, and the confident figure poses with their clean outlines.
