岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 17 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1882, compiled by Okamoto Kizumi with Yoshikawa Shuntō as reviser and published by Tōsendō, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock-style prints show dense kimono patterns, printed Japanese text columns framing each scene, and a flat, bold line style a designer could draw on for patterned textile or manga-like layouts.
