[絵本] 〔１〕恋相場花王夜嵐初編中

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

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Kanagaki Robun under the name Neko Neko Dōjin and published by Kinmatsudō in 1880, aimed at a general popular readership. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of kimono-clad figures set among dense columns of calligraphic text, with patterned fabrics, a bundled street scene, and a seated couple. A designer might take the strong figure outlines, the patterned kimono textures, and the integration of vertical text blocks with image.
