[絵本] 〔1〕 五人殲苦魔物語 初編 下

柳水亭種清 編 · 1882 · 小林鉄次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ryūsuitei Tanesei and published by Kobayashi Tetsujirō in 1882, with woodblock-style black-and-white illustrations framed by columns of hand-written Japanese text. The pictures show figures in kimono in interior and street scenes, with dynamic poses, and a designer might take from them the energetic line work, patterned garment textures, and the tight integration of text and image on the page.
