[絵本] 〔１〕恋相場花王夜嵐３編下

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 Myōmyō Dōjin and published by Kinmatsudō, containing woodblock-printed scenes with dense vertical kana text blocks. The pictures show stylised figures in kimono—a seated man with a lantern, a man in a formal haori with a sprig of pine, a shopkeeper and customer at a counter—and designers can take from them the strong contrast of solid black ink, the bold calligraphic text panels, and the layered, crowded page compositions.
