絵本江戸土産 中

重長 画, 稀書複製会 編 · 1920 · 米山堂 · 21 pictures

An illustrated Japanese picture book, Ehon Edo Miyage (volume 2), drawn by Shigenaga and reproduced in 1920 by the Kisho Fukusei Kai for Yoneyamado in Japan. The four woodblock-style pages show townspeople strolling along streets, crossing bridges, and gathering at teahouses and shrines in Edo. A designer could draw on their clean, economical ink line, flat tiled rooftops, and crowded multi-figure scenes with layered depth.
