[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 · 17 pictures

This is an 1883 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 2 of Mushiro-hata Gunma no Iganaki (first part), compiled by Saika-en Ryūkō, illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, and revised by Kanagaki Robun, published by Kinmatsudō in Tokyo for a popular readership. Its woodblock-printed pages put framed scenes of seated men in kimono and a woman at a window beside columns of kana text, with interior screens, patterned sliding doors and striped hakama giving a dense, graphic layout a designer could borrow for panel composition and text-image balance.
