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 Yoshikawa Shunto as reviser, aimed at a general reading public. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pictures show figures in robes and kimono indoors beside sliding paper screens, with Japanese text running alongside the scenes, offering a designer strong examples of dense graphic framing where image and calligraphy share the page.
