[絵本] 〔２〕 新編伊香保土産 ５編中

松林伯円 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1880 · 松延堂 · 14 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Shoendo in 1880, compiled by Matsubayashi Hakuen and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, with text columns in Japanese script beside the scenes. Its woodblock-style prints show seated figures in kimono in interior rooms, with a few shoji windows and tables, which a designer might draw on for indoor domestic compositions, patterned textiles, and the tight pairing of calligraphic text with image.
