[絵本] 〔２〕金花胡蝶幻初編下

京文舎文京 (渡辺義方) 編, 守川周重画 · 1880 · 青盛堂 · 19 pictures

This is an 1880 Japanese ehon picture book published by Seiseidō, with text compiled by Kyōbunsha Bunkyō (Watanabe Yoshimasa) and illustrations by Morikawa Chikashige. The woodblock pages show kimono-clad men and women in domestic and street settings, with Japanese text columns running around the figures. A designer might take the dense, patterned kimono textiles, the interplay of calligraphic text and figure, and the tight vertical layouts framed by sliding screens.
