[絵本] 〔１〕 白石噺

牧金之助 編 · 1891 · 金寿堂 · 6 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published in 1891 by Kinjudō, probably in Tokyo, for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pictures show interiors with sliding lattice screens, kimono-clad figures, and a scene of a woman with a folding screen painted with pines, giving designers examples of tight line work, patterned textiles, and flat compositions framed by decorative borders.
