義太夫百段

義太夫倶楽部 編 · 1913 · 日吉堂 · 3 pictures

A Japanese illustrated book (ehon) compiled by the Gidayu Club and published by Hiyoshido in 1913, apparently in Japan, for readers of kabuki and puppet-theatre stories. The pictures are grayscale reproductions of woodblock-style actor portraits in oval and rectangular frames, with vertical Japanese captions and ornamental borders, which a designer might take as a model for framing multiple portraits on one page and for vertical text layout.
