[絵本] 〔１〕水錦隅田曙初編下

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1879 by Kinshōdō, compiled by Itō Senzō and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, aimed at general readers. The pages show woodblock-style fights with swordsmen in patterned kimono, and dense columns of vertical kana text sit beside the figures, giving a designer strong examples of dynamic action poses and framed text-image layouts.
