[絵本役割] 明治17年4月刊
An 1887 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Fukaya Kametarō and published by him, a Meiji-era woodblock-style print book for general readers. Its pages mix printed kanji captions with bold black-and-white figure scenes in armour, with dense patterned clothing and crowded compositions a designer could adapt for ink-line graphics, pattern work or bold editorial illustration.
