[絵本] 〔３〕花岡奇縁譚３編上

岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 21 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated novel (ehon) from Tokyo publisher Shimasendo, written by Okamoto Kiizumi with commentary by Yoshikawa Shuntō, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock-style pages show seated figures in checked kimono within sliding-screen interiors, with dense columns of kana text framing each scene, giving designers a model for pattern-rich checkered textiles and compact text-image layouts.
