[絵本] 〔２〕綾重衣紋廼春秋３編中

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

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) was published in 1879 by Kinshōdō, with text compiled by Itō Senzō and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, and was aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock-style pages pair bold black-line figures of kimono-clad women and robed men with dense columns of vertical Japanese text, showing how figures and calligraphy can share a page as a graphic layout.
