[絵本] 〔５〕越後伝吉一代記上

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

An 1883 Japanese picture book (ehon) titled Echigo Denkichi Ichidaiki, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published by Sekine Kōsuke for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pages pair a framed scene with columns of Japanese text, showing men and women in striped and checked kimono in interiors with sliding paper screens, lattice windows and low tables. A designer might draw on the strong vertical text columns, the bold black-and-white line work and the compact framed scene layouts.
