[絵本] 〔３〕川鵆天網船２編

彩霞園柳香編, 梅堂国政画, 仮名垣魯文閲 · 1883 · 金松堂 · 18 pictures

An 1883 Japanese ehon picture book (volume 3 of a story titled Kawachidori Tenmō-bune, part 2), compiled by Saikasaen Ryūkō, illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, reviewed by Kanagaki Robun, and published by Kinmatsudō in Tokyo for a popular readership. Its pages pair woodblock-style figure scenes with dense columns of hand-lettered Japanese text running alongside the images. A designer might take from them the crisp black-line figure drawing, the bold flat areas of dark ink, and the vertical text columns framing each scene.
