[絵本] 〔１〕松前屋政談３号

宮田伊助編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 23 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Miyata Isuke in 1882 and published by Miyata Isuke, issue three of a series retelling the Matsumaeya court case for a general reading public. The pages pair woodblock-style figure scenes, seated samurai and townspeople set against sliding lattice screens, with columns of kana text in the margins; a designer might take the compact figure groupings, the framing of seated figures against screens, and the dense vertical type blocks as a model for layout.
