[絵本] 〔2〕 綾重衣紋廼春秋 3編 上

伊東専三 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 20 pictures

An 1879 Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Itō Senzō and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published by Kinmatsudō, with woodblock prints of seated figures in patterned kimono set among columns of text. The pictures show a kimono-clad figure in a checkered robe, a woman in a dense floral-patterned kimono beside a sliding screen, and two men in patterned garments, with the text running around the figures and giving a dense, lively page layout a designer could borrow for pattern and typography.
