[絵本] 〔２〕倭洋妾横浜美談上

武田交来編, 大蘇芳年画 · 1880 · 船津忠次郎 · 18 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) of 1880, compiled by Takeda Kōrai and illustrated by Ōsō Yoshitoshi, published in Tokyo by Funatsu Tadajirō, with pages of kana text set around figures. The pictures show elegantly dressed women in kimono posed indoors and outdoors, with bamboo, a seaside town and a patterned sash. A designer could take the dense text-and-image page layouts, the striped and patterned kimono textiles, and the fine line work of Meiji-era ukiyo-e.
