天狗の大よせ : 素人浄瑠璃 初篇

木葉散人 編, 団卒堂主人 閲 · 1889 · 岡本書房 · 3 pictures

A Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) from 1889, published by Okamoto Shobō in Japan and compiled by Kiyō Sanjin with revision by Danso-dō Shujin, apparently aimed at general readers of amateur joruri storytelling. The three pictures are ink line drawings of crowded scenes, with dense hatching and bold black masses that show how Meiji-era printers handled dramatic action and audience groups.
