小学修身鑑 : 絵本
An 1886 Japanese illustrated primer, the 小学修身鑑 ehon, compiled by Kanetani Yokichi and published by him, presumably for elementary school pupils and teachers of the Meiji period. Its woodblock-style pictures show classroom scenes with children in dark kimono and striped or checked garments, a teacher with a book, a wall chart of characters and small objects, and a decorative scroll-pattern panel with vine and leaf motifs that a designer could borrow for ornamental borders.
