[絵本] 〔2〕 白菖阿繁顛末 3編 上

岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤 閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 20 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Shimasendō, written by Okamoto Kisen with revision by Yoshikawa Shuntō, and aimed at general readers of the Meiji period. Its pages show woodblock-printed scenes of seated and standing figures in indoor settings, with dense columns of Japanese text set around them, offering designers a compact study of black-and-white line work, patterned kimono textiles, and the integration of text and image.
