大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 19 pictures

This is a Meiji-era (1885) Japanese ehon picture book issued by publisher Ōnishi Shōnosuke, with woodblock-style figure prints in black ink above and beside columns of kana text, shown here as printed pages with figures in kimono and robes. Designers can take from it the bold, simplified black line work, dense patterned textiles like floral kimono motifs, and the tight pairing of figure and vertical text blocks.
