[絵本] 〔１〕沢村田之助曙草紙３編下

岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 19 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Shimasendō, written by Okamoto Kisen with Yoshikawa Shunto as reviser, aimed at general readers and built around the stage actor Sawamura Tanosuke's story. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with bold black-and-white figures in patterned kimono, set against interiors with paper screens, teapots and bamboo. A designer might take its strong figure poses, dense text-and-image layout, and high-contrast line patterns of checks and stripes.
