Ehon Edo suzume

by Kitagawa Utamaro

Medium:
Woodblock printed book, one volume

Description

This woodblock printed book is bound in a tan/gold patterned textile cover rather than showing an internal print image; the fabric features a woven damask-style pattern of pale florettes and stylized foliate roundels on the right side, overlaid with an embroidered or printed spray of blue-green flowers and orange blossoms with dark teal leaves along the left edge. The cover is photographed against a plain gray background, with visible wear at the spine and corners. No page illustration is visible—only the exterior binding of Kitagawa Utamaro's *Ehon Edo suzume*, a one-volume woodblock printed book.
