[絵本] 〔３〕高橋阿伝夜叉譚７編上

仮名垣魯文 (猫々道人) 編 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 16 pictures

This is an 1880 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) edited by Kanagaki Robun under the pen name Neko Neko Dojin, published by Kinmatsudo in Tokyo for a general reading public. Its woodblock-style pictures show kimono-clad figures in interiors and outdoor scenes, with dense columns of Japanese text running beside them. A designer could draw on the bold patterned textile motifs, the compact arrangement of image and vertical text, and the strong black line work.
