[絵本] 〔１４〕由良の湊千間長者上

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

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Tsutsumi Kichibei, with text compiled by Nagashima Fukutarō and illustrations by Hōsai Yoshitora, aimed at general readers. Its woodblock prints show figures in patterned kimono, one kneeling beside a blossoming tree and another in a courtyard with pine, with columns of vertical Japanese text beside them; a designer might take the dense text-and-image layout and the stylised floral kimono patterns.
