Vols. 1, 2, 4, 5 of 5, Picture Book of Incidents in the Life of Ranjatai (Ehon Ranjatai) : [volume 1]
A woodblock-printed Japanese picture book from 1764, published in Edo and Osaka by the Kichimonjiya firm and illustrated by Tsukioka Settei, with a short verse text in Japanese beside each scene. The pages show courtly figures in interiors and gardens drawn in clean black outline with no colour, so a designer can study the economical line, the figures placed against blank paper, and the way text and image share a spread.
