滑稽絵本全集 上巻
A 1919 Japanese compilation of comic picture books (ehon), edited by Furuya Tomoshin and published by Bungei Shoin in Tokyo for a general reading public. The pages show woodblock-style figures with brief handwritten Japanese captions in the margins. A designer could take from them the economical line work, flat black and grey silhouettes, and the way figures are posed in dynamic, caricatured gestures.
