[絵本役割] 明治１８年１１月刊

斎藤長八編 · 1887 · 斎藤長八 · 16 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) compiled by Saito Chohachi and published by him, likely in Tokyo, for a general readership. Its woodblock prints show crowded scenes of men in kimono and armour with rows of captioned figures, dense hand-lettered labels and crests, and a bold black-and-white graphic style a designer could borrow for dense, labelled compositions and strong line patterns.
