絵本佐野報義録

1888 · 中村芳松 · 17 pictures

An 1888 Japanese ehon picture book published by Nakamura Yoshimatsu, reproducing woodblock-style prints of kabuki actors in stage costume with captions. The pictures show bold black line work on plain paper, with flowing kimono patterns, dramatic poses, and calligraphic name labels a designer could borrow for graphic structure and vertical text.
