絵本道化遊
A Japanese woodblock-style picture book of comic figures and slapstick, compiled by Miyatake Gaiko and published by Gazoku Bunko in 1911, drawn from the Edo-period ehon tradition of humorous sketches. The pictures show exaggerated, rubbery poses of clowns and commoners in kimono, with hand-lettered Japanese captions beside them, offering a designer strong examples of expressive gesture, caricature, and compact figure staging in simple linework.
