[絵本] 〔３１〕櫓太鼓恵達引上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, with woodblock-printed pages of kabuki-style theatrical scenes and handwritten-looking columns of Japanese text. The pictures show costumed figures in striped and patterned kimono in dialogue, poses, and tense confrontations, with kimono patterns and dramatic gestures a designer might borrow for graphic motifs and layouts.
