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] · 28 pictures

This Japanese woodblock picture book, the tenth volume of Ehon Edo Miyage, was produced in Edo-period Japan with illustrations attributed to Hiroshige and Hiroshige II and text by Shōtei Kinsui, published by Kikuya Saburō for a general readership of travellers and armchair tourists. Its double-page spreads show Edo landscapes in soft blue, green and ochre washes, with pines, cherry trees, reed-lined riverbanks, arched wooden bridges and small figures, while the poem columns set beside them offer a clean, spare layout a designer could borrow for sequential or panoramic work.
