[絵本] 〔２〕腕競心三俣２編中

川上謂一郎 (鼠辺) 編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 18 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Kinshodo, with text compiled by Kawakami Ichiro and pictures drawn by Umedo Kunimasa, printed as woodblock-style black-and-white pages with columns of vertical Japanese text. The pages show kimono-clad figures in interior and street scenes, and a designer could take from them the dense calligraphic text blocks, patterned striped and checked kimono textiles, and the compact framing of figures against blank space.
