[絵本] 〔２〕 綴合於伝仮名書 中

篠田仙果 編, 生田芳春 画 · 1879 · 山村金三郎 · 14 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Shinoda Senka and illustrated by Ikuta Yoshiharu, published in 1879 by Yamamura Kinsaburo in Tokyo for general readers. The woodblock pages place figures in interiors and street scenes with dense kana text running around them. A designer might take the loose, energetic line work, the patterned checked and striped kimono, and the way small figures are framed by vertical columns of text.
