[絵本] 〔17〕 梅廼加賀金沢実記 下

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book, Umenoya Kaga Kanazawa Jikki volume 2, compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885 for a general readership of popular woodblock-printed fiction. The pages show woodblock-style figure illustrations with columns of Japanese text set around the images, and the tight black-and-white line work offers designers a model for integrating dense text blocks with figures.
