[絵本] 〔４８〕露情恋忍路岡野実伝下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book published in 1885 by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, an illustrated popular print in the woodblock-style tradition, with text columns running beside each scene. The pictures show kimono-clad figures in interiors with sliding screens, lacquer boxes, and a seated man reading a large open sheet, drawn in bold black outlines with heavy striped and patterned fabric. A designer could take the strong contrast of dense hatching against open white space, and the way text columns frame each image.
