天帝奇勲 : 絵本 初編
An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Tokiwaya, written by Ishikawa Koreyasu under the pen name Ki Sanjin, with its first volume aimed at a general popular readership. Its pictures are ink line drawings with Japanese captions and rows of kana beside the figures, showing robed bearded men and a kneeling figure in simple outline with little shading, which a designer might take as a model for clean, economical line work and for pairing text columns with image panels.
