[絵本] 〔21〕 浦里時次郎明烏夢の合雪 下

沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 21 pictures

An 1887 Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published by him, presumably for a general popular readership, with woodblock-printed pages mixing courtly figure scenes and columns of kana text. The figures are shown in kimono with lively patterns, interiors with latticed windows, and a snowy riverbank and pine-tree landscape, offering a designer ready models of kimono pattern, figure poses and compositional framing of text beside image.
