江戸府内絵本風俗往来 上編
A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book, Edo fūzoku ōrai (Customs of Edo), written by Kikuchi Kiichirō under the pen name Ashinoha Sanjin and published in Tokyo by Tōyōdō in 1905 for a general reading public. Its woodblock-style pages show townspeople walking along Edo streets past rows of low-roofed shops and tiled houses, with figures in kimono and hakama, a pine tree, and a bamboo fence. A designer could draw on the crowded street compositions, the diagonal rooflines receding into space, and the clean hatched lines used to render fabric patterns.
