[絵本] 〔１〕金竜山浅草寺聖観世音略縁起下

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1883 · 関根孝助 · 20 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1883 by Sekine Kōsuke, with text compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, telling the legend of the Asakusa Kannon temple for a popular readership. The pages pair black-line woodblock figures and temple scenes with columns of vertical kana and kanji text, so a designer can draw on their bold outlines, patterned kimono, and open line-and-text layouts.
