[絵本] 〔16〕 松梅雪花三吉野 上

武田交来 (勝次郎) 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1881 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 15 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1881 by Ōkura Magobee, with text by Takeda Kōrai and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, probably for a general readership of the Meiji period. The pictures show kimono-clad women and men in stage-like poses, with columns of Japanese text set among the figures and bold patterned robes and fans that designers can study for graphic pattern and layout.
