百人一首地口絵手本 後

梅亭樵父 著 · [出版者不明] · 51 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book of woodblock-style figure drawings with calligraphic verse captions, apparently compiled by Baitei Shōfu (梅亭樵父) with an unidentified publisher and no clear date given in the record. It parodies the Hyakunin Isshu poem cards through comic word-play, and its figures are drawn in a loose, caricatured manner. A designer could take from it the expressive poses, bold black clothing shapes and handwritten Japanese lettering set beside the figures.
