[絵本] 〔２〕蓆旗群馬嘶第１編

彩霞園柳香編, 梅堂国政画, 仮名垣魯文閲 · 1883 · 金松堂 · 18 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon), issued in 1883 by publisher Kinshōdō, was compiled by Saika-en Ryūkō, illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa and revised by Kanagaki Robun for a general popular readership. Its woodblock pages show men in patterned kimono and striped robes gathered in interiors and on a street, with columns of kana text beside the figures; a designer might take from them the dense black-and-white hatching of textile patterns and the tight interplay of text blocks and figures.
