[絵本] 〔４〕鈴木主水噂新宿下

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) issued in 1882 by the publisher Komori Sōjirō, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō, and aimed at general popular readers. Its woodblock-style pages show seated and standing figures in patterned kimono beside sliding screens, gardens and stone lanterns, with handwritten kana text in columns around them. A designer might take from them the economical black-and-white line work, the bold patterned textiles, and the way text and image share a single page.
