[絵本] 〔2〕 菊重延命嚢 初編中

久保田彦作 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1879 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 17 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) was compiled by Kubota Hikosaku and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published in 1879 by Ōkura Magobei in Japan for a general readership. Its woodblock pages show interiors with figures in patterned kimono, sliding lattice screens, and close-set kana text columns, which a designer might draw on for dense ornamental pattern and text-image layout.
