[絵本] 〔３〕花岡奇縁譚２編下

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

This is a Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book, Hanaoka kien tan volume 2 part 2, published in 1882 by Tōsendō with text by Okamoto Kisen and revision by Yoshikawa Shuntō, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock-style illustrations show indoor scenes of kimono-clad figures in striped and patterned robes beside shoji screens, with dense columns of kana text running around them, offering a designer clear examples of compact figure placement and text-image layout from late nineteenth-century Japanese print.
