[絵本] 〔２〕綾重衣紋廼春秋初編上

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 16 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1879 by Kinmatsudō, with text compiled by Itō Senzō and pictures by Umedō Kunimasa, aimed at general readers. The pages pair woodblock-style figure drawings with dense columns of vertical Japanese text. Its figures wear richly patterned kimono, with geometric and floral textile designs, and the layouts combine calligraphic blocks with small scenes of interiors and garden plants, offering a designer dense patterned textiles and tight text-image composition to study.
