[絵本] 〔１５〕 八百屋於七

牧金之助 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1886 · 牧金之助 · 8 pictures

An 1886 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Maki Kinnosuke, with illustrations by Umedo Kunimasa, compiled for a general readership of the period. Its pages are woodblock-style black-and-white prints showing figures in kimono against architectural and garden settings, with handwritten Japanese captions in cartouches. A designer could draw on the bold line work, crowded text panels, and strong figure poses for period-style graphics.
