[絵本] 〔１６〕 天一坊一代記

竹内栄久 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1884 · 小森宗次郎 · 21 pictures

An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 16, titled Tenichibo Ichidai-ki, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published by Komori Sojiro in Japan for general readers of woodblock-printed fiction. The pictures are monochrome woodblock prints with dense black-and-white patterned kimono, crowded panels with vertical Japanese text columns and framing screens, and dramatic seated or kneeling figures; a designer could draw on their bold graphic pattern work and compact panel layouts.
