[絵本] 〔１〕夜嵐阿衣花廼仇夢５編下

岡本起泉編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 18 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Okamoto Kisen and published in 1882 by Kinmatsudō in Tokyo, aimed at a general reading public. The pages pair woodblock-style figure illustrations with dense columns of kana-and-kanji text framing the scene. A designer might take the bold black-ink outlines, flat patterned kimono textures, and the tight integration of text blocks with figures as a model for editorial layout.
