[絵本] 〔１〕滋賀県美談今常盤布施譚初編下

松林伯円編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 松延堂 · 16 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Shōendō, edited by Matsubayashi Hakuen and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, printed in Japanese text and aimed at general readers. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints showing kimono-clad women and a seated samurai beside columns of vertical script, with patterned textiles and interior screens; a designer could draw on their dense textile patterns, lattice backgrounds, and the rhythm of text blocked around figures.
