岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤 閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 19 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon), part of a multi-volume serial, compiled by Okamoto Kizen (Kanzō) and revised by Yoshikawa Shuntō, published in Tokyo by Tōsendō for a general reading public. Its woodblock-style pages pair full-length figures in patterned kimono with dense columns of kana text, showing bold black linework, striped and checked textile patterns, and a tight layout a designer could draw on for pattern, costume, and text-image composition.
