絵本金花夕映 : 一名・唐金藻右衛門金花夕映 1

梅暮里谷峨 著 ;閑閑樓北嵩 画 · 前川源七郎 · 13 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated fiction volume (ehon) with text by Baikeisato Taniga and illustrations by Kankanrō Hokusū, published in Edo-period Japan by the Maekawa publisher for general readers of popular picture books. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints with dense hatching and cloud-like swirls, showing a sea-and-waves frontispiece, a robed man beside a waterfall and a carved Buddhist figure, a seated woman with a smoking pipe in a house, and a standing woman in an elaborate kimono before a mirror, giving a designer strong examples of patterned water, rock and textile rendering.
