[絵本] 〔５０〕お園六三三世相夢の曙上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 22 pictures

An 1885 Japanese ehon picture book published by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, compiled as a popular illustrated volume for general readers in Japan. Its woodblock-style pages pair kneeling and standing figures in patterned kimono with dense vertical columns of Japanese text. A designer might take the bold checkered and striped textile patterns, the compact figure poses, and the tightly stacked calligraphic columns as models for graphic layout and pattern work.
