[絵本] 〔２〕 菊重延命嚢 ６編下

久保田彦作 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1879 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 14 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1879 by Ōkura Magobei, with text compiled by Kubota Hikosaku and pictures drawn by Umedō Kunimasa. The woodblock-style prints show Edo-period townspeople, a seated man beside a signboard, and a seated gathering on a veranda, with dense columns of Japanese text running beside the images. A designer might take the strong black linework, the tightly packed text-and-image layouts, and the patterned kimono textures.
