A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1880, published by Kinmatsudō, with text compiled by Kawakami Ōichirō and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, aimed at general popular readers. Its woodblock-style pages show seated and standing men in patterned kimono beside kana text columns, with bold black-and-white contrast a designer could borrow for graphic panels and narrative layouts.
