絵本稗史小説 第8集

1918 · 博文館 · 57 pictures

A Japanese illustrated fiction volume (ehon hishi shosetsu, vol. 8) published by Hakubunkan in 1918, its woodblock-style pictures set alongside columns of vertical Japanese text. The pictures show courtly interior scenes with lattice screens, figures in patterned robes and a pine tree, and a designer could take their dense floral kimono patterns and the framing of image beside vertical text.
