[絵本] 〔４〕 おそめ久まつ花の蔵入

宮田伊助 編 · 1881 · 宮田伊助 · 12 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Miyata Isuke and published by him in 1881, likely for a general popular readership. The pages are woodblock-style prints with kimono-clad figures in interiors and rural landscapes, accompanied by handwritten kana text. A designer might take from them the loose, rapid linework, the patterned kimono textures, and the compact panel layouts that frame figures against blank ground.
