[絵本] 〔５〕坂東彦三倭一流３編下

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 Tōsendō, with text attributed to Okamoto Kisen and reviewed by Yoshikawa Shuntō, apparently for a general popular readership. Its woodblock-style pages pair crowded kana text columns with scenes of seated figures in patterned kimono in tatami rooms, showing how dense text and figure work can share one page.
