浄瑠璃傑作集

竹豊散人 編 · 1910 · 博多成象堂 · 1 picture

A 1910 Japanese illustrated book, a collection of jōruri puppet-theatre texts compiled by Chikubō Sanjin and published in Hakata by Seishōdō, aimed at readers of popular ehon. The surviving picture is a cover-style design with a black-and-white checkered band running diagonally across the top, a stepped checkerboard pattern at lower left, and vertical Japanese characters set in the open field, giving a strong graphic geometry a designer could borrow for bold pattern blocks and headers.
