[絵本] 〔１２〕 築紫瀉苅萱草紙 上

永島福太郎 編, 孟斎芳虎 画 · 1880 · 堤吉兵衛 · 14 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, with illustrations by Hōsai Yoshitora and text compiled by Nagashima Fukutarō, made for popular readers. Its woodblock pages show a richly patterned robed nobleman in several poses, each framed by columns of vertical Japanese script. Designers can take the dense, all-over patterned textiles and the strong black-line figure shapes as a model for bold ornamental surface pattern.
