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

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book compiled by Takeshiba Kinsaku and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published by Eikyudo, likely for a general popular readership. Its woodblock-printed pages pair dramatic figures in kimono and hakama with columns of handwritten-style text in the margins, and the sharp black linework and dense patterned textiles suggest bold graphic contrast and rhythmic surface pattern for designers.
