筋書繪本 : 浪花座十一月狂言
A Japanese woodblock picture book published in Osaka around 1800 by Katō Bunmeidō, illustrating scenes from a November kabuki performance at the Naniwaza theatre for theatre-goers and collectors of ehon. The pages show crowded interior and garden scenes of costumed actors in mid-action, with dense, bold black linework, patterned kimono and swordplay, which a designer might use for dynamic compositions, sequential panel layouts and graphic patterning.
