[絵本] 〔９〕 寛永宇都宮

児玉又七 編 · 1880 · 大橋堂 · 13 pictures

A Meiji-era (1880) Japanese picture book published by Ōhashidō and compiled by Kodama Matashichi, an ehon illustrated book produced in Japan. The woodblock-style pages show samurai in interiors and gardens with dense columns of Japanese text beside the figures, offering designers a model of tightly integrated text and image layouts. Their bold black-and-white line work, patterned kimono and crest motifs can inform graphic patterning and manga-like panel composition.
