[絵本] 〔３０〕於七吉三浮名の絵合下

荒川吉五郎編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 15 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Arakawa Kichigorō and published by him in 1882, printed for a general readership of popular fiction and theatre fans. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints of kabuki-style scenes, with dense calligraphic text columns beside the figures; a designer might take the bold patterned kimono textures, strong black-and-white figure silhouettes, and compact text-and-image page layouts.
