[絵本] 〔２〕綾重衣紋廼春秋３編下

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1879, published by Kinmatsudo, with text compiled by Itō Senzō and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, printed as woodblock-style black-and-white pages with columns of Japanese script beside each scene. The four pictures show kimono-clad figures in interiors and outdoors, with a patterned hemp-leaf style kimono and a bald man in a long robe. Designers can take from them the bold linework, dense geometric textile patterns, and the way text columns frame the figures.
