[絵本] 〔１〕籬の菊操鏡３編下

京文舎文京 (渡辺義方) 編, 守川周重画 · 1880 · 青盛堂 · 16 pictures

This Japanese illustrated book (ehon) was compiled by Kyōbunsha Bunkyō (Watanabe Yoshikata) with illustrations by Morikawa Chikashige, published in Tokyo by Seiseidō in 1880 for a general readership. Its woodblock-printed pages show seated figures in patterned kimono beside calligraphic text columns, with a designer able to take from them the dense black-and-white layouts, decorative textile patterns, and the interplay of printed script and image.
