[絵本] 〔２〕綾重衣紋廼春秋２編中

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 19 pictures

This is an 1879 Japanese ehon picture book, published by Kinmatsudo, with text compiled by Itō Senzō and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, printed for popular readers of the Meiji period. Its woodblock-style pages pair kimono-clad figures in chequered and striped robes with dense columns of vertical kana text, so a designer can draw on its bold patterned textiles, tight figure poses, and text-and-image page layouts.
