[絵本] 〔３〕 娘浄瑠理噂大寄 初編 中

岡本起泉 編 · 1882 · 金松堂 · 16 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) by the author Okamoto Kizumi, published in 1882 by Kinmatsudō, with woodblock-style illustrations and dense columns of Japanese text. The pictures show interior and garden scenes of figures in striped kimono, with plain line work and calligraphic annotation that a designer could take as a model for compact, text-integrated page layouts.
