[絵本役割] 明治１７年２月刊

深谷亀太郎編 · 1887 · 深谷亀太郎 · 18 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Fukaya Kametarō and published by him in 1887, the Meiji 17 year, printed in woodblock style with Japanese captions. Its pictures show crowds of costumed figures in action scenes with kana and kanji labels, which a designer might take from for dense, labelled woodcut compositions and the bold, flat linework of Meiji-era woodblock prints.
