鏡山 : 絵本実録

牧金之助 編 · 1890 · 金寿堂 · 14 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) edited by Maki Kinosuke and published in 1890 by Kinjudo, retelling the Kagamiyama revenge story in woodblock-style prints with running kana text. The pictures show stylised kimono patterns, interior screens and staged poses that a designer could take for dense textile pattern, compositional framing around text columns, and dramatic gesture.
