[絵本] 〔２９〕梅川忠兵衛恋飛脚大和往来下

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled and published by Sawa Kyujiro in 1887, printed from woodblock-style blocks with kana text running around the figures. The pictures show kimono-clad women and men in interiors and at doorways, with the printed text filling the spaces between them, offering a designer ready examples of Japanese block-print figure composition and dense text-and-image layout.
