“Yachigusa” is a sample book of woodblock prints that was released as a series during the Meiji period, divided into several volumes. It showcases patterns not only for kimono designs but also for the lining of garments. The author is listed as “Ueno Kiyoe,” so it is believed to be the work of Ueno Kiyoe, the father of Ueno Tameji, who became a Living National Treasure in 1955 for his dyeing expertise.
