[絵本] 〔１〕雪月花三遊新話２編上

篠田仙果編, 生田芳春画 · 1879 · 山村金三郎 · 16 pictures

A Meiji-period Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) of 1879, compiled by Shinoda Senka and illustrated by Ikuta Yoshiharu, published by Yamamura Kinzaburō in Tokyo for a general popular readership. Its woodblock-printed pages place small figures in kimono and robes beside dense columns of kana text, with the illustrations doing much of the narrative work. A designer could draw on the bold black-and-white striped kimono patterns, the compact figure groupings, and the way the text blocks frame each scene.
