[絵本] 〔６〕色吉原盛糸裲襠上

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

An 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Shimasendō, compiled by Okamoto Kisen with Yoshikawa Shunto as reviser, aimed at general readers of the period. Its woodblock-printed pages mix dense columns of kana text with full-page scenes of kimono-clad figures, interiors and a Yoshiwara courtesan setting. A designer might take its bold black-and-white linework, the striped kimono patterns, and the way text columns frame each image.
