[絵本] 〔5〕 坂東彦三倭一流 3編中

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 Shisendō, with text by Okamoto Kisen and reviewed by Yoshikawa Shuntō, printed as a woodblock picture book for a general readership. The pages show kimono-clad figures in interiors with sliding shoji screens, set between dense columns of vertical Japanese text, with a bold hatched linework that suggests strong black-and-white pattern for a designer to adapt.
