[絵本] 〔１〕国定忠次義名の高島２編下

川上謂一郎 (鼠辺) 編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 19 pictures

This is an 1880 Japanese ehon picture book published by Kinmatsudo, with text compiled by Kawakami Ichiro'o (Sohen) and illustrations by Umedo Kunimasa, likely aimed at popular readers of the period. The woodblock-style pages show samurai-era figures in patterned kimono and hakama beside printed kana text columns, with architectural screens and interiors. A designer might draw on the bold black linework, dense text-and-image layouts, and patterned textile motifs.
