[絵本] 〔３５〕順礼唄阿波鳴門下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by him in 1885, probably for a general popular readership. Its pages pair a figure at the centre of each block with dense columns of vertical kana and kanji text running around the image. The figures are drawn in bold black outlines with striped kimono patterns and simple flat areas, which a designer could take as a model for strong graphic contrast between dense text and a single figure.
