[絵本] 〔4〕 朝顔日記 下

永島辰五郎 編, 孟斎芳虎 画 · 1881 · 宮田孝助 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1881 by Miyata Kōsuke, with text compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and illustrations by Hōsai Yoshitora. Its woodblock-printed pages set seated women in patterned kimono against dense columns of vertical kana text, giving designers a clear model for integrating figures with text blocks and decorative textile pattern.
