[絵本] 〔２９〕 於染久松恋手習

牧金之助 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1888 · 金寿堂 · 5 pictures

An 1888 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Kinjudo, edited by Maki Kinnosuke and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, aimed at a general reading public. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style scenes of kabuki-like figures in kimono, with dense hatching for night water and trees; a designer might take the bold patterned textiles, the tangled stylized foliage, and the compositional use of boats and riverbank as graphic motifs.
