[絵本] 〔３〕高橋阿伝夜叉譚５編中

仮名垣魯文 (猫々道人) 編 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Kanagaki Robun and published in Tokyo by Kinmatsudō in 1880, part of a serialised crime tale for a popular readership. Its pages are woodblock prints with dense columns of kana text set between figures in interiors. A designer might draw on the strong black-and-white patterning of kimono textiles, the tight framing of rooms through screens and sliding doors, and the integration of calligraphy with image.
