清親畫帖 [1]

小林清親畫 · 1800 · [製作者不明] · 17 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) of Kobayashi Kiyochika's drawings, published in Japan with the date given as 1800 though the prints date from the Meiji period and the publisher is unknown. The four pictures show rainy and snowy streets, a lantern-lit riverside at dusk, and a tree-lined shrine approach, all in flat colour with soft gradated skies, which a designer might borrow for atmospheric weather and night scenes.
