絵本江戸土産 10編
An 1860s Japanese illustrated guidebook (ehon) to Edo, the work of Ichiryusai Hiroshige and his successor Hiroshige II with text by Shokatei Kinsui, printed by Kikuya Saburo for a popular readership wanting views of the city and its surroundings. The pictures are woodblock prints of pine-shaded hills, shrines, paths, and small figures in soft washes of green, blue and ochre, with calligraphic poems set in the margins; a designer might borrow their layered horizons, sparse linework, and the tiny walking figures to suggest scale and a quiet landscape mood.
