[絵本] 〔４〕冬楓月夕栄初編

彩霞園柳香編, 梅堂国政画, 仮名垣魯文閲 · 1883 · 金松堂 · 20 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1883, published by Kinshōdō, with illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa and text edited by Kanagaki Robun, made for a general reading public. The woodblock pictures show kabuki-style figures in rooms and on a rain-streaked veranda, with dense columns of kana text beside them, offering a designer strong examples of bold black line, hatched patterning and tightly integrated text and image.
