[絵本] 〔２〕赤縄の猿曳下

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1883 · 関根孝助 · 19 pictures

An 1883 Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published by Sekine Kōsuke, presenting woodblock scenes of townspeople and figures in interiors and gardens with columns of handwritten-style text beside them. The woodblock figures are bold and flat, with patterned kimono in checks, diagonals and stripes, and a designer might take from them the strong graphic contrast of black line against patterned fabric and the way text blocks are set alongside images.
