An 1880 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Enjudō, with text compiled by Izumi Ryūtei Korekiyo and illustrations by Ōsai Fusane, offering Meiji-era readers a serialized fourth part of tales. The pictures show costumed figures in patterned kimono, half-length and full-length, set beside dense columns of kana text, with bold black outlines and flat areas of pattern a designer could draw on for textile motifs and woodblock-style layouts.
