[絵本] 〔４４〕東叡山農夫願書上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Sawa Kyujiro and published by Sawa Kyujiro in 1887, a cheap woodblock-era print for general readers, with its story told in columns of Japanese text beside each scene. The pictures show samurai and townspeople in interiors, with simple black line and sparse shading that a designer could take as a model for compact narrative panels with text integrated into the image.
