絵本太功記 : 稽古本 尼ケ崎の段

玉井清文堂編輯部 編 · 1930 · 玉井清文堂 · 38 pictures

A 1930 Japanese practice text (keiko-bon) from Tamai SeibunDo, edited for learners of the Ehon Taiko-ki Amagasaki scene, printed as pages of densely brushed cursive kana with small furigana readings beside the characters. The pages show no illustrations, only calligraphic columns, so a designer could take from them the rhythm of vertical text blocks, the dense flowing brush strokes, and the contrast of bold black script against white paper.
