[絵本] 〔2〕 菊重延命嚢 6編上

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

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1879, published in Tokyo by Ōkura Magobei, with text compiled by Kubota Hikosaku and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, printed as woodblock-style black-and-white pages for a general reading public. The pictures show interior and street scenes with figures in patterned kimono, and their dense hatching, patterned textiles and text columns set beside the images suit designers studying traditional Japanese print layouts and textile patterning.
