[絵本] 〔３４〕小夜砧宇都谷峠下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 18 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Shōnosuke Ōnishi, printed in Japan for a general readership. The pictures are crude woodblock-style line drawings of standing and crouching male figures in striped and checked kimono, with columns of Japanese text running beside them. A designer might take the bold striped textile patterns, the stiff expressive poses, and the rough, high-contrast linework as a source for graphic motifs.
