[絵本] 〔３０〕於七吉三浮名の絵合上

荒川吉五郎編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Arakawa Kichigoro and published by him in 1882, likely for a general popular readership. Its pages pair kabuki-style figures in kimono with dense columns of Japanese text, and the black-and-white line work shows a simple, bold graphic structure a designer could borrow for layout and figure silhouettes.
