絵本金花談 巻之１１
This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, volume 11 of the Ehon Kinka-dan, illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai and published by Maekawa Genshichiro. The pictures are black-and-white line prints of samurai in formal robes on wooden verandas, with speech balloons carrying handwritten Japanese text. A designer might take their clean ink outlines, sharp diagonal floorboard perspectives, and the crowded, gestural poses of the figures.
