絵本金花談 巻之8 1冊
This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, volume 8 of the Ehon Kinka-dan, illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai and published by Maekawa Genshichirō. The pages show samurai scenes with walled compounds, a figure writing at a low lacquer table, and seated men in patterned kimono in ink line with fine hatching. A designer could take the crisp black-line economy, the stepped roofs and wall geometry, and the patterned textile motifs on the robes.
