[絵本] 〔２〕日月星享和政談上

松村漁夫編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 16 pictures

A Meiji-era (1879) Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Matsumura Gyofu and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published in Tokyo by Okura Magobei for general readers of woodblock-printed fiction. Its pages show standing and seated male figures in patterned kimono and dark robes, set beside columns of Japanese text in cartouches and margins, suggesting a designer could draw on the bold textile patterns, the dense vertical calligraphy layouts, and the compact figure poses.
