[絵本] 〔１１〕 千代萩

堤吉兵衛 編 · 1891 · 堤吉兵衛 · 8 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Tsutsumi Kichibei and published by him in 1891, with woodblock-style prints of kabuki-derived scenes meant for a general reading public. The pictures show seated figures in interiors and garden settings, with bamboo, screens, and kanji captions, giving designers a model for dense black-and-white ink linework, patterned backgrounds, and layered text panels.
