絵本古鳥図賀比 3巻
An 1805 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) in three volumes, made by the artist Matsuya Jitori and published by Kawachiya Kiheiei and associates, aimed at general readers. Its pages are monochrome woodblock prints with sparse ink contours, flat tinted areas and brief handwritten-style verses set beside the figures, showing comic scenes of townsfolk, children and monks in everyday moments. A designer might take the economical line work, simple expressive faces and the cropped, asymmetric placement of figures against blank paper.
