辻岡文助 編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 17 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book in two volumes, compiled by Tsujioka Bunsuke as a publication from his own press, printed in Japan for general readers of popular illustrated fiction. Its woodblock-style pages show kimono-clad figures in interiors with shoji screens, with calligraphic text columns filling the margins. A designer might take the dense interplay of hand-lettered text and figure drawing, and the bold patterned striped and checked kimono textures.
