[絵本] 〔２〕金花胡蝶幻初編中

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

This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published in 1880 by Seiseidō, compiled by Kyōbunsha Bunkyō (Watanabe Yoshimasa) and illustrated by Morikawa Chikashige, aimed at general readers. Its woodblock-style pages pair full-figure scenes of elegantly dressed women and men with dense columns of Japanese text, with patterned kimono, interior screens and garden props drawn in bold black outlines that a designer could borrow for pattern, panel layout and textual framing.
