一平全集 第4巻
A 1930 Japanese volume from the collected works of the cartoonist Okamoto Ippei, published by Senshinsha, containing comic picture-book (ehon) panels in a woodblock-like ink line style. The panels show a robed figure kneeling beside a small child at a stone lantern, a demon-like creature hauling a large jar with a fierce face at its heels, a crowd of figures tumbling across tiled roofs, and two women and a man in patterned kimono on a path. A designer could take the economical black outline, stippled texture, and loose comic gesture as a model for simple narrative figure drawing.
