沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 21 pictures

An 1887 Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) compiled and published by Sawa Hisajirō, volume eight of a popular illustrated story of lovers Oshichi and Kichisa, aimed at general readers in Meiji Japan. Its pictures show seated and standing figures in kimono beside dense columns of vertical kana text, with simple hatched lines and flat areas of tone a designer could borrow for sparse, text-led layouts.
