[絵本] 〔１８〕延命院実録談話下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 19 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1885 by Onishi Shōnosuke, the compiler and publisher, issued in Japan for a general reading public. Its pictures are woodblock-style prints of kimono-clad figures, mostly men and a seated woman, set among columns of hand-brushed Japanese text. A designer might take the dense textual margins and bold patterned kimono as sources for layout, pattern, and typographic texture.
