[絵本] [１]かが見山仇討

木村文三郎編 · 1882 · 木村文三郎 · 5 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Kimura Bunzaburō and published by him in 1882, with a catalogue record giving no further detail on its intended readers. The four pictures show women in patterned kimono standing or kneeling in interiors and gardens, each beside a column of vertical Japanese text, drawn in a woodblock-style line with heavy, slightly blurred black outlines. A designer might take from them the dense kimono pattern work of cranes, waves and clouds, and the layout of text set in vertical columns beside an image.
