[絵本] 〔3〕 柳沢秋の名月

宮田伊助 編 · 1881 · 宮田伊助 · 15 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book, volume 3 of Yanagisawa Akino no Meigetsu, compiled by Miyata Isuke and published by him in 1881, printed in Japan for a general readership. Its pictures are coarse, low-contrast woodblock-style prints with a figure in a patterned kimono on a sheet of text-filled columns, a seated man in a striped robe, and a kneeling figure beside a geometric fret-patterned screen; a designer might take the bold figure outlines, dense calligraphic text blocks, and fret and star motifs as graphic material.
