[絵本] 〔２〕天神記

松井栄吉編 · 1881 · 松井栄吉 · 15 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) in volume 2, compiled by Matsui Eikichi and published by him in 1881, with a catalogue record giving no further audience or place detail. The four woodblock-style pages show seated and standing figures in kimono and armour, with calligraphic text in columns beside them, and a designer might take their bold outline, flat patterned fabric, and compact text-and-image layout as models for graphic panels.
