[絵本] 〔１〕国定忠次義名の高島初編下

川上謂一郎 (鼠辺) 編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Kinshodo in 1880, compiled by Kawakami Ichiro and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, likely for popular readers. The woodblock prints pair half-page scenes with dense columns of vertical kana text, showing figures in kimono and formal dress in interiors and outdoor settings. A designer might take the bold black-and-white patterned textiles, the inset text blocks, and the economical hatching used to describe clothing and architecture.
