[絵本] 〔1〕 恋相場花王夜嵐 3編 上

仮名垣魯文 (猫々道人) 編 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 17 pictures

An 1880 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) edited by Kanagaki Robun under the name Neko Neko Dojin and published by Kinmatsudo, with woodblock pages of seated men in kimono and a woman, set in interiors with shoji screens and text columns. The pages suggest a designer could borrow the dense mix of calligraphic text blocks and figures framed by simple architectural lines.
