[絵本] 〔10〕明からす雪の仇夢

牧金之助 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1888 · 金寿堂 · 5 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1888 by Kinjudō, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock-style black-and-white prints show kimono-clad figures in interiors and gardens, with vertical columns of kana text set beside the images; a designer might take the compact figure groupings, bold patterned textiles, and the integration of calligraphic text with picture.
