[絵本] 〔２〕綾重衣紋廼春秋３編上

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 20 pictures

An 1879 Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Itō Senzō and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published by Kinmatsudō, with woodblock prints of seated figures in patterned kimono set among columns of text. The pictures show a kimono-clad figure in a checkered robe, a woman in a dense floral-patterned kimono beside a sliding screen, and two men in patterned garments, with the text running around the figures and giving a dense, lively page layout a designer could borrow for pattern and typography.
