[絵本] 〔２〕蓆旗群馬嘶第２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 is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) from 1883, published by Kinshōdō, with pictures by Umedō Kunimasa and text compiled by Saika-en Ryūkō and revised by Kanagaki Robun, aimed at general readers. The woodblock-style pages show seated men and women in kimono within interiors with paper screens and sliding windows, each framed with dense columns of Japanese text. A designer might take the compact text-and-image layouts, the bold black linework and the patterned kimono textiles as references.
