広告用絵本
A Meiji-era Japanese advertising picture book (kōkoku-yō ehon) published in 1892 by Hasegawa Takejirō, a Tokyo publisher, and aimed at shoppers and customers. The pictures are low-contrast, grainy halftone reproductions of brush-style plant studies and a figure with a parasol, with ink-wash flowers and foliage set against plain grounds, offering a designer a sparse, airy approach to botanical motifs and calligraphic line.
