[絵本] 〔１〕水錦隅田曙２編下

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

This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1879 by Kinmatsudō, compiled by Itō Senzō with illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, aimed at general readers. Its pages show samurai-style figures in tangled action, a traveller in a plaza of hanging signs, and seated figures in interiors, all drawn in bold black-and-white line with dense columns of kana text beside them, offering a designer strong graphic contrast, patterned kimono textures, and a dynamic sense of staging.
