絵本更科草紙 : 勇婦全伝 巻之4
This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, volume 4 of a heroic-women tale, written by Kurikutei Oran and illustrated by Ippōsai Baen, published by Okada Mohei. The woodblock pages show women in patterned kimono in tatami interiors with pine trees, painted screens and verandas, plus one scene of a fight with a sword and staff; a designer could borrow the dense, finely hatched linework, the framed interior compositions and the patterned textile motifs.
