ASAGIRI
(Morning Mist)
Two volume book of popular poetry & songs, much of it about the pleasure quarter and its joys. The preface, by Ota Saburo, recounts that this is a record of 300 years of poetry & old people's stories. This is followed by small illustrations of scenes from daily life, still lifes, etc on the opposite page in a style suggesting quick pen strokes with subtle watercolour washes.
