[絵本] 〔３〕花岡奇縁譚初編中

岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 19 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated novel (ehon) published in 1882 by Tokyo publisher Toyosendo, written by Okamoto Kisen with editing by Yoshikawa Shunto, for a general reading public. The pages are woodblock-style prints with Japanese text columns framing figures in period clothing. Designers can take its dense, vertical text-and-image layouts, bold black linework and hatched textile patterns as models for compact framed scenes.
