沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 18 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Sawa Hisajirō, a Tokyo publisher, for a general readership. Its pages show full-length figures of women and a man in kimono, each set beside a block of vertical Japanese text. A designer could take the flat outlines, patterned kimono textiles, and the pairing of single figures with columns of script.
