[絵本] 〔4〕 天一坊物語

児玉又七 編 · 1880 · 大橋堂 · 16 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book published by Odokado and compiled by Kodama Matashichi, printed for a general readership in Japan. Its woodblock-style pages pair bold black-and-white figure scenes with dense columns of Japanese text, so a designer can take strong silhouette compositions and the interplay of image blocks and vertical script.
