絵本天一坊伝記

中村浅吉 編 · 1887 · 中村浅吉 · 8 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Nakamura Asakichi and published by him, retelling the Tenichibō story in woodblock prints for a general readership. Its pictures are bold black-line woodblock figures in kimono and hakama, with patterned fabrics, folding screens, and small columns of Japanese text beside them, offering designers a strong model for graphic line work, pattern fills, and textual layout.
