[絵本] 〔１〕水錦隅田曙２編中

伊東専三編, 梅堂国政画 · 1879 · 金松堂 · 19 pictures

An 1879 Japanese ehon picture book published by Kinshōdō, edited by Itō Senzō and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, printed for popular readers. The woodblock-style pages pair figures with dense columns of vertical Japanese text running in the margins. Designers can take from them the strong black-and-white line work, patterned kimono textures, and the interplay of calligraphic text blocks beside figures in tight compositions.
