岡本起泉 編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 17 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) was compiled by Okamoto Kizumi and published in 1882 by Kinshōdō in Tokyo, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock prints show kimono-clad men and women in dramatic poses, with dense columns of text running alongside the figures, offering designers strong examples of patterned textile motifs, bold black line work and vertical text layout.
