久保田彦作 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1879 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 19 pictures

An ehon picture book from Japan, published in 1879 by Ōkura Magobee, with text compiled by Kubota Hikosaku and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa for a popular readership. The four woodblock pages show interior domestic scenes of women and seated figures in patterned kimono, framed by dense vertical columns of Japanese text that a designer could use for kimono pattern, interior layout, or typographic texture.
