[絵本] 〔３〕花岡奇縁譚３編中

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

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) by Okamoto Kisen, edited by Yoshikawa Shunto and published by Chin Sendo, with woodblock prints of Meiji-era popular fiction for a general reading public. The pictures are black-and-white woodcuts with dense Japanese text set in columns beside the scenes, showing interiors, a fleeing figure with bundled cloth, and a kneeling pair beside a lantern. A designer might take the bold hatched robe patterns, the tight vertical text blocks, and the stark figure outlines as graphic reference.
