絵本江戸土産 10編

松亭金水 解説, 一立斎広重, 広重二世 画 · 菊屋三郎[ほか] · 22 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book from the Edo period, Ehon Edo Miyage volume 10, with landscape illustrations by Hiroshige I and Hiroshige II and commentary by Matsutei Kinsui, published by Kikuya Saburo and partners for popular readers. The pictures are woodblock prints of riverbanks, shrines, pine trees and boats in soft washes of green, blue and pink, with calligraphic captions set into the open spreads, useful to designers for layered landscape compositions, sparse horizon lines and restrained pastel palettes.
