[絵本] 〔３〕花岡奇縁譚２編中

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

This is an 1882 Japanese illustrated novel (ehon) published by Tōsendō, written by Okamoto Kisen with editing by Yoshikawa Shuntō, aimed at general readers of the Meiji period. The woodblock-style pages show seated and standing women in patterned kimono, with a dense column of kana text running beside the figures and occasional interior screens and sliding doors; a designer might borrow the tight pairing of text blocks and figures, and the patterned textile surfaces.
