[絵本] 〔２〕新編伊香保土産２編中

松林伯円編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 松延堂 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Shoendo, compiled by Matsubayashi Hakuen and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, aimed at general readers. The woodblock-style pages pair a seated figure in a richly patterned kimono with dense columns of Japanese text. A designer might take the dense text-and-image layouts, the flowered kimono patterns, and the stepped wooden architecture as models for combining type with figure drawing.
