書目集覧 第1 (寛文書籍目録・元禄書籍目録)

禿氏祐祥 編 · 1928 · 東林書房 · 401 pictures

This is a 1928 Japanese bibliographic catalogue, compiled by Tokuji Yūshō and published by Tōrin Shobō in Tokyo, listing early book titles from the Kanbun and Genroku booklists for scholars of bibliography. Its pages are dense vertical columns of printed Chinese-character titles, with no illustrations, so a designer would find only typographic texture here: tightly spaced vertical lines, ruled column dividers, and stacked characters in woodblock-era type.
