[絵本] 〔1〕 嵯峨奥妖猫奇談 下

竹柴金作 (琴作) 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1881 · 栄久堂 · 21 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book, published by Eikyūdō, with text by Takeshibashi Kinsaku (Kinsaku) and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, a Meiji-era reader's edition of a ghost-cat story. The woodblock prints show samurai and robed figures in dense text columns, with the patterned kimono and crest-marked garments a designer might study for ornament and layout.
