岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published in 1882 by Tokyo publisher Toseido, written by Okamoto Kizen and revised by Yoshikawa Shuntō for a general reading public. Its woodblock-style pictures show seated figures in kimono in domestic interiors with sliding screens, bamboo, and dense columns of vertical Japanese text beside them, offering a designer useful examples of compact figure-and-text page layout and kimono patterning such as striped and checked fabrics.
