[絵本] 〔２〕思案橋暁天奇聞初編中

岡本起泉編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 22 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Okamoto Kizen and published in Tokyo by Kinmatsudo in 1882, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock-printed pages place small figure scenes beside dense columns of Japanese text, with kimono-clad figures in domestic interiors shown in simple black linework, shoji screens, and patterned robes. A designer might take from them the compact pairing of image and column text, the bold figure silhouettes, and the stylised patterning of kimono and interior architecture.
