岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 20 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Shimasendo, written by Okamoto Kisen with Yoshikawa Shunto as reviser, aimed at general readers of the Meiji period. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with scenes of seated men in patterned kimono and a woman in a patterned robe, offering a designer strong examples of dense text-image layouts and bold black-and-white line work with textured patterns.
