[絵本] 〔２〕菊重延命嚢３編上

久保田彦作編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 15 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1879 by Okura Magobei, with text by Kubota Hikosaku and illustrations by Umedo Kunimasa, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its pages pair bold black-and-white figure prints of kimono-clad men in fighting and standoff poses with dense columns of vertical Japanese text, offering a designer strong examples of patterned checked and floral textile motifs, dynamic diagonal action, and high-contrast line-and-text layouts.
