[絵本] 〔５〕化物嫁入咄

宮田伊助編 · 1881 · 宮田伊助 · 15 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book titled Bakemono yomeiri banashi, compiled by Miyata Isuke and published by Miyata Isuke, with kana captions beside every scene. Its pictures show anthropomorphic animals and yokai in everyday Edo-style settings, drawn in bold, simple black-and-white woodblock line with hatched shading. A designer might borrow the playful humanized creatures, the crowded skull-and-cauldron scene, and the calligraphic captions as a source of graphic character design.
