[絵本] 〔３〕 川鵆天網船 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 ehon picture book from 1883, published by Kinshōdō, with text compiled by Saikaen Ryūkō, illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa and revised by Kanagaki Robun, its pages mixing woodblock scenes with columns of Japanese text. The pictures show Meiji-era townspeople in kimono and dark coats, a man in a bowler hat, and a figure kneeling on a tatami floor, drawn in bold black outlines with striped and patterned fabrics a designer could use for graphic textile or line-art references.
