[絵本] 〔２〕新編伊香保土産６編下

松林伯円編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 松延堂 · 15 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Shoentō, compiled by Matsubayashi Hakuen and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, probably for a general reading public. The pictures are woodblock-style black-and-white prints of seated and standing men in striped and checked kimono, with columns of Japanese text running beside them. A designer might take the bold patterned textiles, the tight hatching of the striped garments, and the way text and image share one page.
