[絵本] 〔２〕天一坊一代記下

辻岡文助編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era (1881) Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Tsujioka Bunsuke, the second volume of a illustrated retelling of the life of the impostor Tenichibo, printed in woodblock-style black and white for general readers. Its pages show kabuki-like figures in patterned kimono in interior settings, with columns of text running beside the scenes, and a designer might take its dense, hand-cut patterning on robes and its vertical text panels as graphic reference.
