Prosperity of the Family (Ehon sakae gusa) : [volume 2]
Ehon sakae gusa, volume 2, is a Japanese illustrated picture book by Katsukawa Shunchō, published in Edo in 1790 by Izumiya Ichibei for a general readership. Its double-page woodblock scenes show domestic and town life, with interiors, figures in patterned kimono, and street crowds that suggest useful compositional studies of everyday Edo-period society.
