[絵本] 〔１〕沢村田之助曙草紙３編上

岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 20 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book, the third part of a Sawamura Tanosuke story, was compiled by Okamoto Kisen with revision by Yoshikawa Shuntō and published in 1882 by Shimasendō in Tokyo. Its pages alternate figure scenes with dense columns of kana text, showing how Japanese woodblock-era illustration combined bold line drawing with calligraphic lettering that a designer could borrow for layout and pattern.
