[絵本] 〔３〕花岡奇縁譚初編下

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

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Shimasendō, written by Okamoto Kisen with commentary by Yoshikawa Shuntō, aimed at general readers of popular fiction in the Meiji period. Its woodblock-style pictures show domestic scenes of indoor interiors, clothed figures, and tea service, with dense columns of kana text surrounding each image, so a designer could borrow the framed text-and-picture layout and the hatched patterned kimono textures.
