[絵本] 〔1〕 五人殲苦魔物語 2編 中

柳水亭種清 編 · 1882 · 小林鉄次郎 · 17 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated storybook (ehon) compiled by Ryūsuitei Tanesei and published in 1882 by Kobayashi Tetsujirō, with woodblock-style prints of kimono-clad women and men set between blocks of Japanese text. The pictures show interiors with screens, shoji panels and bamboo, with the figures drawn in bold black line and patterned robes that a designer could take as a source for textile motifs, kimono patterns and the layout of text beside image.
