[絵本] 〔5〕 坂東彦三倭一流 初編中

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 Tōsendō, compiled by Okamoto Kisen and reviewed by Yoshikawa Shuntō, printed in woodblock with dense columns of kana text framing the scenes. The pictures show a robed man standing beside a sliding screen, a figure carrying a boxed load along a path, a seated man confronting a figure at a lacquered desk, and a kneeling figure beside a screen with blossoming branches, in patterned kimono with bold hatched textiles and simple interior settings a designer could draw on for pattern and costume.
