[絵本] 〔1〕 小倉山青樹栄昔日新話 初編

泉竜亭是正 編, 桜斎房種 画 · 1880 · 延寿堂 · 19 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book of the Meiji era, published by Enjudō, with text compiled by Izumi Ryūtei Koremasa and illustrated by Ōsai Fusatane for a popular reading audience. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with seated figures in patterned kimono, interiors with shoji screens, and tables set with objects, offering designers examples of compact vertical page layouts and the balance of framed illustration against calligraphic text.
