[絵本] 〔5〕 坂東彦三倭一流 2編中

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

An 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Shimasendō, compiled by Okamoto Kizumi and reviewed by Yoshikawa Shuntō, printed in woodblock style for a general reading public. Its pictures show seated and standing figures in patterned kimono within domestic interiors with sliding screens, shoji windows and folding screens, with text columns woven around them; a designer might take the dense, rhythmic black-and-white line work and the framing of text beside figures.
