A Modern Day "Clear Mirror" (Masukagami 万寿嘉々見) : [volume 2]
A Japanese woodblock-printed book by Ikeda Eisen, published in 1822 as volume 2 of the Masukagami series, a two-page spread format for an Edo-period readership. The pictures show paired figures in domestic interiors, with dense patterned textiles, paper screens and columns of text beside the images, and a designer might take from them the layered textile patterning and the paired-panel page composition.
