[絵本] 〔１〕夜嵐阿衣花廼仇夢５編上

岡本起泉編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 16 pictures

This is an 1882 Japanese illustrated novel (ehon) in woodblock print, compiled by Okamoto Kisen and published by Kinmatsudo in Japan for a general reading public. Its pictures show kimono-clad women in interior and street settings, set among dense columns of Japanese text, drawn in bold black outline with patterned textiles. A designer might take the patterned kimono motifs, the strong graphic contrast of black line against text blocks, and the framing of figures within text columns.
