[絵本] 〔39〕 大岡政談天一坊一代記 下

沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published by Sawa in 1887, printed in woodblock-style black ink on paper with dense columns of Japanese text beside the illustrations. Its pages show seated samurai and townspeople in striped and patterned kimono drawn in bold outline and hatching, a useful reference for designers seeking Edo-period ukiyo-e figure composition, kimono pattern and vertical text layout.
