[絵本] 〔２〕腕競心三俣３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 Kinmatsudō, with text compiled by Kawakami Ichirō (pen name Sohen) and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, aimed at popular readers. Its woodblock-style pages pair a few large figure scenes with dense columns of kana and kanji text, and the scenes show townspeople in kimono, a seated man beside a flowering plum, a woman with a palanquin, and a figure with a kettle and tools, giving designers a reference for Meiji-era popular print layout where text and image share the page.
