[絵本] 〔３〕高橋阿伝夜叉譚５編上

仮名垣魯文 (猫々道人) 編 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 15 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated fiction volume (ehon) by Kanagaki Robun, published in 1880 by Kinmatsudo in Tokyo for a general reading public. The woodblock-printed pages mix dense columns of kana text with black-and-white scenes of crowds, a street with a newspaper vendor, and a dramatic crouching figure, offering a designer strong examples of bold outline and hatched cloth patterning.
