荒川吉五郎編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 17 pictures

An 1882 Japanese ehon picture book compiled by Arakawa Kichigoro and published by him, a woodblock-printed volume of illustrated pages with dense columns of kana text framing each scene. The pictures show standing and seated male figures in patterned kimono and hakama, with a designer able to draw on their bold black linework, dense textile patterns, and text-filled margins as a model for graphic layouts.
