[絵本] 〔１〕夜嵐阿衣花廼仇夢初編中

岡本起泉編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 19 pictures

This is an 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) edited by Okamoto Kisen and published by Kinshodo, a first-part volume of a popular romance. Its woodblock-style pictures show kimono-clad figures in interior scenes with calligraphic text columns filling the margins, and a designer might take its dense, rhythmic pairing of image and script, its striped and patterned textile designs, and its compact framed panels.
