[絵本] 〔１〕 水天宮利生深川 上

梅堂国政 画 · 1885 · 松栄堂 · 9 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Shoeido, with pictures credited to Umedō Kunimasa, likely aimed at general readers of popular theatrical stories. The four pictures show kimono-clad figures in interior scenes, a samurai with a sword, and a seated figure with a dark robe, drawn in a dense woodblock-style line with patterned textiles and a sparse background that a designer could use for textile pattern and figure-composition study.
