書目集覧 壹

禿氏祐祥 編 · 1928 · 東林書房 · 285 pictures

A 1928 Japanese bibliographic catalogue, compiled by Tokuji Yūshō and published by Tōrin Shobō, listing Buddhist and Chinese titles in columns of printed Chinese characters for scholars and librarians. Its pages are plain typeset text in vertical columns with no illustrations, so a designer would take only the strong vertical rhythm of the columned layout and the dense, evenly spaced character grid.
