[絵本] 〔3〕 娘浄瑠理噂大寄 初編 上

岡本起泉 編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 15 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1882 by Kinshōdō, with text by Okamoto Kizumi, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. The pictures are woodblock-style line drawings of seated and standing figures in patterned kimono beside columns of vertical Japanese text, showing interior domestic scenes, a figure with a fan and a tea set, and a dramatic struggle with swords; a designer might borrow the dense text-and-image layouts and bold cross-hatched patterning of the garments.
