[絵本] 〔２〕腕競心三俣２編下

川上謂一郎 (鼠辺) 編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Kinshodo, with text by Kawakami Ichiro and illustrations by Umedo Kunimasa, made for popular readers. Its pictures show seated and standing kimono-clad women and a man in interiors with dense columns of kana text around them, and a designer might take from them the patterned kimono textiles, with geometric and floral motifs, and the flat black-and-white linework of the period.
