[絵本] 〔1〕 恋相場花王夜嵐 初編上

仮名垣魯文 (猫々道人) 編 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 19 pictures

An 1880 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) edited by Kanagaki Robun under the name Neko Neko Dōjin and published by Kinmatsudō, drawn in the woodblock style of late Edo-to-Meiji popular fiction. The pictures show crowded domestic and street scenes with figures in patterned kimono, handwritten kana captions set into the open white areas, and bold black ink contrasts, offering a designer strong examples of dense text-and-image layout and graphic pattern work in printed fabric and textile motifs.
