A Japanese woodblock picture book by Nishikawa Sukenobu, published in Kyoto in 1740 by Uemura Tōemon and distributed in Tokyo and Osaka, aimed at a general reading public. Its pages show everyday life of the Edo period in ink line with calligraphic verses set beside each scene, so the book reads as a record of social customs rendered in clean, economical line.
