[絵本] 〔２〕菊重延命嚢６編上

久保田彦作編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1879, published in Tokyo by Ōkura Magobei, with text compiled by Kubota Hikosaku and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, printed as woodblock-style black-and-white pages for a general reading public. The pictures show interior and street scenes with figures in patterned kimono, and their dense hatching, patterned textiles and text columns set beside the images suit designers studying traditional Japanese print layouts and textile patterning.
