岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤 閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 22 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Shimasendō, compiled by Okamoto Kisen and reviewed by Yoshikawa Shuntō, aimed at general readers of the Meiji period. Its pages pair woodblock-style figure drawings with dense columns of Japanese text, showing robed men in interiors, gestures, and stage-like poses a designer could draw on for bold line work and patterned textiles.
