[絵本] 〔3〕 高橋阿伝夜叉譚 7編 中

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

An 1880 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) compiled by Kanagaki Robun and published by Kinmatsudō, with woodblock-printed pictures of figures in kimono set between blocks of vertical text. The pictures show interior and garden scenes with a man and a woman in patterned robes, and a designer might take from them the dense hatched textures of kimono fabric, the tight pairing of image and column of text, and the contrast of black linework on white paper.
