懐中義太夫佐和理集
This is a Meiji-era Japanese pocket booklet of gidayu chanted-drama texts, compiled by Seyama Sakichi and published by him in 1888 for readers of popular music and theatre. The first picture shows a woodcut-style night street scene with a tall lantern, a pavilion and two figures walking beneath trees, while the second is a bold vertical-panel title sheet with large black calligraphy on white strips, suggesting strong, simple lettering and framing a designer could adapt.
