[絵本] 〔２〕新編伊香保土産６編中

松林伯円編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 松延堂 · 16 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Matsubayashi Hakuen and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published by Shōendō in 1880 for popular readers. Its pages pair woodblock-printed figures with dense columns of Japanese text running vertically beside them. The figures wear patterned kimono and hakama on wooden verandas and interiors, and their bold black line work and checked or chrysanthemum-patterned textiles offer designers strong graphic motifs for pattern and layout.
