小桜姫風月奇観 : 絵本 (後記)巻之6
A Japanese ehon picture book, volume 6 of a fantasy series, written by Santō Kyōzan and illustrated by Utagawa Kunisada, published in Edo for popular readers. A wide double-page woodblock view shows a lakeside landscape with a long zigzag plank bridge, sailing boats on the water, and wooded hills with a temple under mist, framed by decorative borders and vertical columns of handwritten kana text. A designer could take the open panoramic composition, the layered distance of water and hills, and the calligraphic text panel as a model for a layout that mixes image and script.
