[絵本] 〔２〕鼠〔ベラシ〕甲子真聞２編

泉竜亭是正編, 桜斎房種画 · 1880 · 延寿堂 · 22 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon), published in 1880 by Enjudo, was compiled by Senryutei Koremasa with illustrations by Obusai Fusatane, and is printed in woodblock-style black line with dense columns of kana text beside the scenes. The four pictures show figures in striped kimono in interiors with lattice windows, with text filling the margins; a designer might take from them the bold contour linework, the striped and patterned textile motifs, and the way text and image share one page.
