[絵本] 〔２〕 日月星享和政談 中

松村漁夫 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1879 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 12 pictures

This is a Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1879, published in Tokyo by Ōkura Magobei with text compiled by Matsumura Gyofu and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, aimed at a general readership. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pictures show costumed figures in interiors, on a bridge and beside a boat, with dense columns of Japanese text beside them. A designer might take the bold ink contour lines, the patterned kimono textiles, and the compact text-and-image page layouts.
