義太夫のさわり集 天
A 1924 Japanese anthology of gidayu chanted-drama excerpts, compiled by a gidayu enthusiasts' society and published by Nihikido in Japan for readers of popular theatre and music. The first picture is a table-of-contents page with a bamboo stalk drawing and dotted ground pattern, while the second is a mostly black frame bearing a single white panel with a bold calligraphic character, suggesting a section divider; a designer might take the bold brushed kanji and sparse ink bamboo as graphic models.
