[絵本] 〔4〕 鈴木主水真情和談 下

辻岡文助 編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 18 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1881 by Tsujioka Bunsuke, a Tokyo-era woodblock print book with text columns running beside the images. Its pictures show seated figures in patterned kimono indoors beside shoji screens, sliding doors, and writing tables, with the dense vertical Japanese text filling the margins; a designer might take its strong black-line woodcut contrast and bold geometric kimono patterns, which read well as graphic texture.
