[絵本] 〔２〕蓆旗群馬嘶第１編

彩霞園柳香編, 梅堂国政画, 仮名垣魯文閲 · 1883 · 金松堂 · 19 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon), compiled by Saika-en Ryūkō, illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, and revised by Kanagaki Robun, was published in 1883 by Kinshōdō in Tokyo for a popular readership. Its woodblock pages show seated figures in kimono within interior rooms, with dense vertical columns of text running beside the scenes; a designer could draw on the strong black-and-white line work, the pattern of textiles, and the way text and image share a single page.
