絵本菅原実記

1887 · 精文堂 · 6 pictures

An 1887 Japanese picture book called Ehon Sugawara Jiki, published in Japan by Seibundo as an illustrated ehon for general readers, with no maker named in the record. The woodblock-style line pictures are scanned sideways, and they show courtly figures in patterned robes, a horse rider, an ox cart, and interiors with screens and lattice, offering a designer dense textile motifs and bold black linework to borrow for pattern and layout.
