[絵本] 〔２〕 菊重延命嚢 ２編下

久保田彦作 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1879 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 12 pictures

This Japanese ehon picture book, volume 2 part 2 of Kiku Shige Enmei Bukuro, was compiled by Kubota Hikosaku and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published in 1879 by Ōkura Magobei in Japan for general readers. Its woodblock-style pages pair kanji-and-kana text columns with seated and standing figures in patterned kimono, interiors with screens and paper doors, and a few household objects, giving designers a model for dense text-image layouts and ornamental kimono patterning.
