[絵本] 〔２〕白菖阿繁顛末３編下

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

An 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Shimasendō, with text by Okamoto Kizumi and revision by Yoshikawa Shuntō, aimed at general readers of the Meiji period. Its woodblock-style pages show standing and kneeling figures in dark kimono beside shoji screens, sliding doors and low tables, with vertical columns of Japanese text running alongside the scenes. A designer might take the bold black-and-white line work, the strong vertical framing of doors and screens, and the compact figure groupings in front of columned text.
