[絵本] 〔１９〕 於富与三郎実記

牧金之助 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1888 · 金寿堂 · 2 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book of 1888 published by Kinjudō, with text compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, likely for a general popular readership. The first picture shows a broad-shouldered figure in a checked kimono with a bold stance and a line of vertical text beside him, while the second shows two figures on a rocky shore with waves, one holding a folding fan and the other carrying a spear. A designer might take the bold checked and wave-pattern textiles, the strong standing pose, and the dense vertical column of printed text as graphic reference.
