[絵本] 〔７〕 徳川十五代記

中村浅吉 編 · 1889 · 中村浅吉 · 8 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed ehon picture book (volume 7 of the Tokugawa Fifteen Generations record) compiled by Nakamura Asakichi and published by him in 1889, with kanji text columns beside each scene. The pictures show courtly and samurai figures in Edo-period robes and interiors, drawn in bold black outlines with sparse hatching, a plain graphic style a designer could borrow for editorial spot art, Japanese-themed packaging, or simple line-based icons.
