[絵本] 〔４〕幻阿竹噂之聞書２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) published by Shimasendō, with text by Okamoto Kisen and revision by Yoshikawa Shuntō, presenting a serialised popular fiction for general readers of the Meiji period. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints showing seated women in patterned kimono beside shoji screens, with dense columns of vertical Japanese text; a designer could draw on their bold line patterns, striped and checked textile motifs, and the framing of text against image.
