[絵本] 〔２〕腕競心三俣３編中

川上謂一郎 (鼠辺) 編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 20 pictures

An 1880 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Kinshodo, with pictures by Umedo Kunimasa and text by Kawakami Ichiro, a comic-style woodblock picture book for popular readers. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut scenes of townspeople and samurai-style figures in patterned kimono, packed with dense calligraphic text around the figures; a designer might take their bold hatched textures, dynamic poses and vertical text layouts as models for graphic patterning.
