[絵本] 〔１〕水錦隅田曙２編上

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1879 by Kinshōdō, compiled by Itō Senzō and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, aimed at general readers. The woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with figures in patterned kimono and domestic or garden settings, so a designer could draw on their hatched textile patterns, shoji screen grids and compositions that place figures inside cloud-shaped vignettes.
