相思画譜
Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) written by Takeda Gyōtenshi and published by Kinkōdō in 1891, aimed at general readers. The four pictures show interior scenes of seated figures in traditional dress, a decorative initial letter, and a standing figure before a seated older man. A designer could take from them the compact, uncluttered staging of figures in rooms and the economical black linework of Japanese woodblock-derived illustration.
