[絵本] 〔１〕夜嵐阿衣花廼仇夢４編下

岡本起泉編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 17 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Okamoto Kisen and published in 1882 by Kinmatsudō in Tokyo, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. The four pictures are woodblock-style prints of seated figures in patterned kimono and a bald man in a checked robe, each framed by dense columns of Japanese text, with tea sets, lacquer trays and low tables. A designer could take the bold patterned textile motifs, the tight interplay of calligraphic text and image, and the compact tabletop still-life arrangements.
