[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 · 19 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1883 by Kinshōdō, with text compiled by Saikasen Ryūkō, illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa and revised by Kanagaki Robun, aimed at general readers. Its woodblock pages pair columns of Japanese text with scenes of figures in patterned kimono indoors, against stylised pine and wave-like cloud motifs. A designer could draw on the bold black linework, the repeated textile patterns on robes, and the stylised scalloped pine foliage as graphic elements.
