義太夫二百段集 上

大川錠吉 編 · 1912 · 聚栄堂 · 2 pictures

A 1912 Japanese illustrated collection of gidayu chanted-narrative pieces, compiled by Ōkawa Jōkichi and published by Shueidō in Tokyo for readers of popular ehon-style books. Both pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of a small seated figure in a dark kimono holding up an open scroll or book, with calligraphy running down the page and a Tokyo address stamp in the corner, offering a bold figure-and-lettering layout a designer could borrow for editorial covers.
