絵本倭比事 9巻付巻1巻 [3]

西川祐信画 · 1742 · 梅村弥右衛門[ほか5名] · 54 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) illustrated by Nishikawa Sukenobu and published in 1742 by Umemura Yaemon and five others, likely for a general readership of townspeople interested in judicial tales. Its pages show interiors and verandas with figures in layered robes, bonsai, bamboo and tiled roofs, drawn in clean, fine ink lines with little shading, useful for designers seeking compositions of architectural perspective, sparse landscape and quiet domestic scenes.
