[絵本] 〔７〕菅原天神記２号

永島福太郎編, 孟斎芳虎画 · 1880 · 堤吉兵衛 · 17 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Tsutsumi Kichibei, with text by Nagashima Fukutarō and illustrations by Gekkōsai Yoshitora, probably for a popular readership. The woodblock-style pictures show armoured warriors and a seated courtly figure beside dense columns of vertical Japanese text, with bold black outlines and patterned robes that suggest motifs for textile or pattern work.
