[絵本] 〔２〕金花胡蝶幻３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 picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Seiseidō, with text compiled by Kyōbunsha Bunkyō (Watanabe Yoshimasa) and illustrations by Morikawa Chikashige, aimed at general readers. The woodblock-printed pages show interior scenes of seated figures in kimono beside sliding screens and low tables, with calligraphic text columns running down the margins. A designer might draw on the economical black-line figure work, the patterned kimono textures, and the framing of narrow text panels beside the images.
