[絵本] 〔２〕綾重衣紋廼春秋２編下

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 17 pictures

This is an 1879 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 2 of part 2, published by Kinshōdō with text compiled by Itō Senzō and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, printed for a popular readership. The woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with figures in patterned kimono, and a designer could take from them the bold hatched black ink masses, checked and striped textile patterns, and the tight integration of calligraphic text blocks with figure compositions.
