絵本朝顔日記
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published in 1887 by Kinjudō, aimed at general readers and built around the Asagao Nikki story. Its woodblock-printed pages pair dense columns of kana text with figures in kimono shown in interior and garden settings, with some panels arranged as sequential scenes. A designer might draw on the clean line work, the tight relation of calligraphic text blocks to figures, and the patterned fabrics of the costumes.
