木村文三郎 編 · 1882 · 木村文三郎 · 13 pictures

An 1882 Japanese ehon picture book titled Asagao monogatari, compiled by Kimura Bunzaburo and published by Kimura himself, aimed at general readers. Its woodblock-style illustrations show kimono-clad figures on verandas and gardens beside columns of vertical Japanese text set in cartouches. A designer might take the panel layout, the text boxes framing figures, and the patterned kimono textures.
