[絵本] 〔１〕小倉山青樹栄昔日新話４編

泉竜亭是正編, 桜斎房種画 · 1880 · 延寿堂 · 17 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) from 1880, published by Enjudō, with text compiled by Izumi Ryūtei Zeshō and pictures by Ōsai Fusane, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its pictures are woodblock-style black-and-white prints of seated and standing figures in patterned kimono on wooden verandas and bridges, framed by dense columns of Japanese text; a designer might take the bold patterned textile motifs, the staged poses, and the way text and image share a page.
