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] · 26 pictures

An Edo-period Japanese woodblock picture book, the tenth volume of Ehon Edo Miyage, illustrated by Utagawa Hiroshige and Hiroshige II with text by Shōtei Kinsui and published by Kikuya Saburō in Edo for travellers and armchair readers. The double-page views show wide landscapes with pines, rice fields, rivers, farmhouses and small figures on roads, drawn in fine black outline with pale blue and green washes that a designer could borrow for layered, low-contrast landscape compositions with calligraphic text panels.
