絵本江戸土産 上
This is a 1920 Japanese woodblock-style picture book, Ehon Edo Miyage, illustrated by Shigenaga and reproduced by the Kisho Fukusei-kai for the Yoneyama-do publisher, showing scenes of Edo-period urban and country life. The pictures show travellers on a plank bridge over a stream, a boat crowded with passengers on a river, a rural path with figures carrying loads past thatched houses, and a busy street of shops and teahouses with lanterns and hanging signs. A designer might draw on their clean black linework, dense crowd groupings, and the layered perspective that stacks rooftops and boats in one frame.
