[絵本役割] 明治１９年１１月刊

深谷亀太郎 編 · 1887 · 深谷亀太郎 · 12 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Fukaya Kametarō and published in Meiji 19 (1887), likely in Tokyo, for a general readership. Its pictures show crowded, stylised scenes of armoured warriors and courtly figures in tightly packed compositions with dense calligraphic captions, offering designers strong examples of bold black-and-white line work, dynamic group poses, and integrated text-and-image layout.
