絵本詞の花 2巻
This is a Japanese ehon picture book from 1787, volume 2, illustrated by Kitagawa Utamaro for a general readership, with woodblock prints of everyday scenes. The pictures show figures in kimono on plank bridges, a plum-blossom garden, a veranda, and a pine tree beside a fence, rendered in fine, economical ink line with calligraphy in the margins, suggesting restrained layouts a designer could borrow for quiet narrative vignettes and sparse, line-led compositions.
