清親畫帖
A Japanese woodblock picture album (ehon) by Kobayashi Kiyochika, published in Tokyo in the Meiji era, with the publisher unidentified in the record. The four pages show Meiji Tokyo streets, riverbanks and night scenes with telegraph poles, lanterns and rickshaws. A designer could draw on their flat colour planes, soft gradients in dusk skies, and the mix of Western-style perspective with Japanese woodblock technique.
