[絵本] 〔２〕綾重衣紋廼春秋初編下

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 18 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ito Senzo and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published in Tokyo in 1879 by Kinmatsudo for a general reading public. Its woodblock pages pair figures in patterned kimono and rooms with columns of kana text running alongside the drawings, and the scenes show interiors, indoor gatherings, and dramatic moments between figures, with dense textile patterns and rooftop or screen backgrounds that a designer could draw on for pattern and layout ideas.
