[絵本] 〔１〕雪月花三遊新話２編中

篠田仙果編, 生田芳春画 · 1879 · 山村金三郎 · 17 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon), published in 1879 in Tokyo by Yamamura Kinsaburō, with text compiled by Shinoda Senka and pictures by Ikuta Yoshiharu. Its woodblock-printed pages pair full-page scenes with dense columns of kana text, showing domestic interiors, townspeople and travellers in patterned robes. A designer might take from them the bold black linework, striped and checked textile patterns, and the way a wide picture is framed by vertical text blocks.
