Collection of Kyōka Verse with Portraits of Poets in Famous Numerical Groupings (Kyōka meisū gazō shū 狂歌名数画像集) : [volume 3]
A Japanese woodblock picture book of kyōka comic verse, made by Yajima Gogaku and published in 1830 for readers of poetry and popular prints. Its double-page spreads show seated poets in patterned robes beside columns of handwritten verse, with a yellow ground and calligraphic text. A designer could take the dense pairing of figure groups with vertical script as a model for layouts that mix image and text.
