[絵本] 〔4〕 朝顔日記 上

永島辰五郎 編, 孟斎芳虎 画 · 1881 · 宮田孝助 · 22 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book, Asagao Nikki volume one, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugoro, illustrated by Gekkōsai Yoshitora and published by Miyata Kōsuke in Tokyo for popular readers. The pictures are woodblock prints of seated kimono-clad figures beside dense columns of vertical Japanese text, with clean outlines, patterned robes, and simple interior settings that suggest bold kimono patterning and compact page layout.
