[絵本] 〔4〕 鈴木主水真情和談 上

辻岡文助 編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 16 pictures

This is a Meiji-era (1881) Japanese illustrated book, an ehon picture book published by Tsujioka Bunsuke, with woodblock-style prints of seated figures in patterned kimono set against interior screens and windows, framed by columns of vertical kana text. Designers can take its dense textile patterning, rhythmic panel layouts, and the way full-figure scenes sit within text blocks.
