This is a Meiji-era (1882) Japanese picture book, an ehon published by Arakawa Kichigoro as the second part of a life story of Ishii Tsunenemon, printed with woodblock-style line illustrations and vertical columns of text. The pictures show a samurai in patterned kimono, a seated fisherman beside a fish basket and net, a violent struggle, and a kneeling woman by a lacquered box, offering designers dense hatched textile patterns and tightly framed narrative panels.
