沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era (1887) Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published by him, apparently a woodblock-printed volume of figures with kana text captions, made for a general popular readership. The pages show seated and kneeling figures in patterned robes, with handwritten-style Japanese columns running beside them; a designer might take the bold black-line figure drawing, the dense vertical text blocks as graphic texture, and the patterned kimono motifs as reference.
