絵本稗史小説 第6集
A Japanese illustrated fiction volume (ehon hishi shosetsu, vol. 6) published in 1918 by Hakubunkan in Tokyo, aimed at general readers of popular serialized stories. The pages are black-and-white woodblock-style line drawings with dense vertical Japanese text columns; one shows two men seated on a floor with a teapot and tray, another a woman in a kimono at a sliding window, another a lord in formal dress with a kneeling attendant, and another a standing man in patterned robes gesturing. A designer could take the bold ink outlines, the compact figure groupings within framed panels, and the interplay of text columns and image.
