歌川, 豊国, 歌川豊国画 · 伊勢屋治助 · 15 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) by Utagawa Toyokuni, published by Iseya Jisuke, showing courtesans and women in fashionable dress with brief colophon-style calligraphy beside the figures. The pictures show elegant women walking with parasols, men and women in conversation, and figures on a wooden bridge, drawn in fine black line with patterned kimono textiles that a designer could draw on for surface pattern and figure composition.
