児玉又七編 · 1891 · 児玉又七 · 24 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon, volume 4) compiled by Kodama Matashichi and published in 1891, telling the story of the impostor Tenichibō in woodblock-style prints with running kana text. The pages show samurai in tense interiors, a man seated on a riverbank wall, and a boatman poling a small craft, offering a designer examples of dense text-and-image layouts, bold black linework and vertical columns of script.
