[絵本] 〔１〕 小倉山青樹栄昔日新話 ２編

泉竜亭是正 編, 桜斎房種 画 · 1880 · 延寿堂 · 19 pictures

This is an 1880 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) with text compiled by Izumi Ryūtei Zesei and pictures by Ōsai Fusane, published by Enjudō, in woodblock prints showing seated and standing figures in patterned kimono beside columns of hand-written kana text. The pictures show figures in striped and checked kimono, lamps, interiors with sliding screens, and seated gestures, useful to a designer for patterned textile motifs and compact figure poses within dense text.
