畫本古鳥圖賀比

耳鳥齋 畫 · 1000 · [出版者不明] · 61 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) credited to the artist Jichōsai, undated in the record and with no publisher named, printed in woodblock style with lines of kana text beside the figures. Its pictures show crowded groups of seated people in plain kimono, rendered in bold black outlines on a pale paper ground, with the text set in vertical columns; a designer might take from them the economy of figure outline and the tight grouping of seated bodies.
