[絵本] 〔２８〕於富与三郎浮名の横櫛上

荒川吉五郎編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 18 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1882 by Arakawa Kichigoro, presenting a kabuki-derived romance story titled Ukina no Yokogushi, with block-printed scenes and dense columns of kana text for a general reading public. The four pictures show men in kimono conversing in a tatami room, a figure at a shoji screen, and two men walking past a garden with a stone path, drawn in bold black outlines with simple hatching. A designer might borrow the strong line work, the flat patterned kimono stripes, and the framing of text columns around figures.
