[絵本] 〔３８〕時代模様鼠染色上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 16 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, likely for popular readers. Its woodblock-style pages pair short kana and kanji text with figures of townspeople and servants in interiors and street settings. The figures' patterned kimono and hakama, plain interior screens and simple perspective offer a designer useful models for vernacular Japanese costume and compositional economy.
