[絵本] 〔１〕冬楓月夕栄３編

彩霞園柳香編, 梅堂国政画, 仮名垣魯文閲 · 1883 · 金松堂 · 17 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1883 by Kinshōdō, with illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa and text edited by Kanagaki Robun, likely intended for general readers. The woodblock-printed pages show a seated man in patterned kimono in an interior with sliding screens, paper lanterns, and bundles of small objects, with kana text running down the margins. A designer might take from them the dense, hand-carved line work, patterned textile motifs on the kimono, and the compact layout of text beside figures.
