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

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Enjudō, compiled by Izumi Ryūtei Koremasa and illustrated by Ōsai Fusane, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. The woodblock-style pages pair full-figure scenes of kimono-clad men and women with dense columns of printed text, showing patterned textiles, interior screens with cloud motifs, and seated domestic interiors a designer could draw on for period costume and pattern.
