[絵本] 〔２〕 碁太平記白石噺 中

武田交来 (勝次郎) 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1881 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 14 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1881, compiled by Takeda Kōrai and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published in Tokyo by Ōkura Magobei for a general reading audience. The pages show women in patterned kimono on wooden veranda walkways, with dense columns of kana text between the scenes, so a designer might draw on the layered text-and-image layout and the bold striped and floral textile patterns.
