絵本柳荒美談
An 1888 Japanese picture book (ehon) titled Eihon Yanagi Arami Dan, compiled by Arakawa Tōbei and published by Kinkōdō, with its text set in columns of kana and kanji beside the images. Its woodblock-style illustrations show samurai and courtly figures in kimono and hakama, with dense black-and-white hatching and patterned textiles a designer could borrow for bold graphic compositions.
