[絵本] 〔１８〕延命院実録談話上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

An 1885 Japanese ehon picture book published by Onishi Shonosuke, a collection of woodblock-style line illustrations with vertical kana and kanji text columns, likely aimed at general readers of popular storytelling. The pictures show robed men in conversation and seated figures in patterned kimono and hakama, with dense calligraphic columns framing each scene. A designer might take the bold linework, checked and striped textile patterns, and the tight integration of text and image as reference for graphic layout.
