絵本金花談 巻之5

速水春暁斎 画 · 前川源七郎 · 16 pictures

This is an Edo-period Japanese illustrated book (ehon) from the Kinka-dan series, volume five, illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai and published by Maekawa Genshichirō, with woodblock prints of interior scenes. The pictures show courtly and domestic life in rooms with raised verandas, screens, and paper lanterns, drawn in clean black outlines with crowded figures that suit designers studying Japanese composition, spatial layering, and kimono patterning.
