[絵本] 〔１〕 楠公三代記
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by him in 1890, presenting a historical chronicle of the Kusunoki family's three generations in woodblock-style line illustration. The single pictured plate shows a figure in a conical woven straw hat standing amid tufted grass, drawn in sparse, loose ink strokes on a faded page; a designer could take its economical linework and open negative space as a model for minimal, hand-drawn figure work.
