[絵本] 〔１〕夜嵐阿衣花廼仇夢２編中

岡本起泉編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 17 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated novel (ehon) compiled by Okamoto Kisen and published by Kinmatsudō in 1882, printed as woodblock-style black-and-white line illustrations set among columns of kana text. The pictures show seated and standing figures in patterned kimono, with ornate textile patterns, interior screens and lattice windows, and a designer might draw on their dense hatching, decorative kimono motifs, and tight integration of text and image.
