[絵本] 〔１〕水錦隅田曙初編上

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1879, published by Kinshōdō, with text by Itō Senzō and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa. Its woodblock-style prints show kimono-clad men and women in interiors and street scenes, with dense columns of Japanese text running beside the figures. A designer might take the strong black silhouettes, patterned kimono textiles, and the way text and image share one page.
