[絵本] 〔１〕 夜嵐阿衣花廼仇夢 ３編 上

岡本起泉 編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 14 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) was compiled by Okamoto Kisen and published by Kinshodo in 1882, a popular illustrated fiction volume for general readers. Its woodblock-printed pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with black-and-white figure scenes of kimono-clad men and women in interiors. A designer might take its bold, heavy ink outlines, patterned kimono textiles, and tightly packed text-and-image layouts.
