[絵本] 〔５〕坂東彦三倭一流２編下

岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1882 by Shimasendō, compiled by Okamoto Kisen and reviewed by Yoshikawa Shuntō, aimed at a general reading public. Its woodblock-style pages pair bold figure scenes with dense columns of kana and kanji text, so a designer can draw on their strong black linework, crowded text blocks and lively poses of figures in kimono.
