浄瑠璃二百段集 下巻 彦山権現誓助剣 他46編

天狗楼主人 編 · 1909 · 立川文明堂 · 3 pictures

A 1909 Japanese anthology of joruri puppet-theatre texts, the second volume of a collection of over forty plays, compiled by Tengu Rōshujin and published by Tachikawa Bunmeidō. Its pictures are plain black-and-white marks: two repeated diamond-shaped stamp borders reading 不許複製 (reproduction prohibited), and a cover showing a long curled object beside a dark tapered shape with a red-stamped label. A designer might take from the cover a bold, high-contrast ink silhouette with a strong diagonal and a stamped label.
