[絵本] 〔４〕幻阿竹噂之聞書３編下

岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 18 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Shimasendō, written by Okamoto Kisen with Yoshikawa Shunto as reviser, and aimed at general readers of its day. Its woodblock-style pictures show robed figures in dense interior and street scenes framed by columns of hand-brushed text, offering a designer strong examples of crowded text-and-image layout and bold black-and-white patterning in textiles.
