文芸美術漫画

岡本一平 著 · 1930 · 先進社 · 495 pictures

A 1930 Japanese cartoon collection by Okamoto Ippei, published by Senshinsha, aimed at general readers of modern Japan. Its pages are small black-and-white ink cartoons with Japanese text beside them, showing caricatured figures in art-world and everyday scenes. A designer might take from them the economical brush-line caricature, the bold silhouette of a large white block set against dense ink, and the way short captions sit in the margins beside the drawing.
