[絵本] 〔１１〕安珍清姫譚上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Sawa Kyūjirō and published by him in 1887, illustrated with woodblock prints framed by columns of hand-written-style Japanese text. The pictures show figures in kimono in domestic and outdoor scenes, including a woman with a fan beside a parcel, a figure under a striped futon, a man walking beneath a pine, and a swordsman, which a designer could draw on for flat patterned textiles, bold kimono motifs, and compositions that place dense text beside figures.
