市村座狂言繪本
A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) of 1716, drawn by Torii Kiyomasu's circle for theatre enthusiasts, showing kabuki actors from the Ichimura theatre in Edo. The pictures show stage figures in kimono with bold outlines, patterned crests and flat tinted backgrounds, with kana captions set beside them; a designer might take their dense ink linework, family crests and playful inset lettering as a model for graphic composition.
