[絵本] 〔１〕東叡山農夫願書下

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 18 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) edited and published by Sawa Hisajirō in 1887, with woodcut scenes alongside dense columns of text in Japanese script. The pictures show figures in kimono and armour, a seated man at a low table, and a figure lying among cloud-patterned robes, all with bold black line work and sparse shading that a designer could use for graphic compositions and text-image layouts.
