絵本金花談 巻之8 2冊
This is an Edo-period Japanese illustrated book (ehon), volume 8 of two, illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai and published by Maekawa Genshichirō, probably in Kyoto or Edo. The pictures are monochrome woodblock prints of elegant interiors, garden trees, verandas and figures in robes and swords, drawn with crisp uniform outlines and open white space that suggest a designer could borrow the compositional economy of pine silhouettes and low architectural planes.
