[絵本] 〔４〕 苅萱物語

松井栄吉 編 · 1881 · 松井栄吉 · 14 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book, volume four of a Karukaya story compiled by Matsui Eikichi and published by him, likely for general readers in Japan. Its woodblock-style pages show courtly and samurai figures in kimono beside columns of hand-written kana, giving a designer clear examples of line-led figure drawing with patterned robes and sparse setting.
