一平全集 第7巻

岡本一平 著 · 1930 · 先進社 · 507 pictures

This is a 1930 collected works volume of cartoons and comic sketches by Okamoto Ippei, published in Tokyo by Senshinsha, with text in Japanese characters. The pictures are loose ink line drawings and woodcut-style cartoons with short captions beside figures, some showing a seated man, a kneeling woman in a kimono, and crowds in an urban setting. A designer could take from them the economical caricature line, the use of dense black patterned fabric against open white areas, and the way small captions sit alongside the drawings.
