絵本江戸みやげ 2編6巻 [1]

西村重長, 鈴木春信画 · 菊屋安兵衛 · 49 pictures

An Edo-period Japanese picture book (ehon) by Nishimura Shigenaga with illustrations attributed to Suzuki Harunobu, published by Kikuya Yasubee for townsfolk readers in the capital. The woodblock-printed pages show crowds of townspeople walking past shops, teahouses, gardens and riverbanks, with pine trees, tiled roofs and sparse ink linework that a designer could borrow for compositions of people in landscape.
