[絵本] 〔38〕 大岡政談越後伝吉一代記 上

沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) edited and published by Sawa Hisajirō in 1887, printed from woodblock with columns of kana text running beside each scene. Its pictures show figures in kimono in interiors and street settings, drawn with bold black outlines and hatched patterning on the textiles, which a designer could use for graphic patterning of kimono motifs and for compact text-and-image page layouts.
