[絵本] 〔１〕東叡山農夫願書上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 18 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Sawa Kyujiro, a publisher and compiler, with text and images aimed at a general popular readership. The pages show woodblock-style figures in interiors: a seated man in a kimono dictating or reading a document to a companion, and a bald figure bowing beside a patterned screen. Their bold outlines, dense columns of Japanese kana text, and simple patterned backgrounds could suggest graphic designers for poster or manga-style layouts, text-and-image integration, or a hand-cut stencil look.
