[絵本] 〔１〕 水天宮利生深川 下

梅堂国政 画 · 1885 · 松栄堂 · 8 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Shoeido and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, aimed at general readers of the Meiji period. Its woodblock-style pages show scenes of street fights, a riverbank encounter, a temple-side gathering and a board game, each framed by vertical captions. Designers can take its dynamic crouched and striding figures, tightly packed text panels and dense hatched patterns on kimono as compositional models.
