[絵本] 〔42〕 手鞠唄笠森於仙 下

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, a woodblock-style print book with kana text columns framing each scene. Its pictures show Edo-period figures in kimono and samurai dress in simple interiors and streetside settings, with a bold black-and-white linework style a designer might borrow for graphic patterns and lettering layouts.
