[絵本] 〔１〕籬の菊操鏡３編中

京文舎文京 (渡辺義方) 編, 守川周重画 · 1880 · 青盛堂 · 16 pictures

This Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1880, published by Seiseidō, was compiled by Kyōbunsha Bunkyō (Watanabe Yoshimasa) with illustrations by Morikawa Chikashige, and it was aimed at a general reading public. Its pages show kimono-clad figures in interiors, many kneeling or seated, with dense columns of vertical Japanese text beside the drawings, and the woodblock-printed patterned textiles and tatami-style floors offer designers examples of traditional Japanese graphic layout and pattern.
