精選艶曲集

総生寛 編 · 1882 · 駸々堂 · 5 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese songbook printed in 1882 by Shinshindō, compiled by Sō Seikan, with its title set in Chinese characters on the cover. Its pictures are a dark, grainy cover with an open book and a circular floral medallion, and a designer might take from them the strong black-and-white contrast of Japanese print covers and the decorative roundel motif.
