絵入倭文範 : 義太夫独稽古
A Japanese illustrated book of 1890 published by Yasui Rokuzō, a picture book (ehon) of gidayū chanted-drama texts for practice. Its pictures are woodblock-style black-and-white prints showing kimono-clad figures in interiors with sliding screens, bamboo and pine patterns, and swords. A designer might take the dense textile patterns, bold outlines, and stylized pine and bamboo motifs as graphic models.
