[絵本役割] 明治２０年９月刊

谷口貞次郎編 · 1887 · 谷口貞次郎 · 13 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Taniguchi Teijirō and published by him in September 1887 in Meiji-era Japan, apparently for general readers. Its pictures are crowded woodblock-style prints of kabuki-like figures in patterned kimono and armour, with dense carved textures and handwritten vertical captions that a designer could take from for bold graphic line work and pattern.
