[絵本] 〔1〕 夜嵐阿衣花廼仇夢 初編 上

岡本起泉 編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 16 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Okamoto Kisen and published in 1882 by Kinshōdō, aimed at general readers of the Meiji period. Its woodblock-style prints show costumed figures in interiors and outdoor settings, with kana and kanji text running in vertical columns beside them. A designer might take the dense black-and-white figure compositions, the patterned kimono textures, and the framed vertical text panels as models for layout and pattern.
