[絵本] 〔３〕 花岡奇縁譚 ３編下

岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤 閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 9 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) with text edition by Okamoto Kisen, compiled by Kankichi and revised by Yoshikawa Shuntō, published in Tokyo by Tōsendō for general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of kana text with small figure scenes of seated and standing people in robes and kimono, with a designer able to take bold black-and-white line work, compact figure groupings, and the way text columns frame the images.
