[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 · 19 pictures

This Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1880, published by Enjudō, has text by Izumi Ryūtei Koremasa and illustrations by Ōsai Fusane, printed as woodblock pages with kana text running around the images. The pictures show seated women in patterned kimono beside lattice windows, and two men in striped robes with swords, drawn in dense black-and-white linework that a designer could borrow for bold patterned textiles and text-image layouts.
