[絵本] 〔１０〕夜討曽我狩場曙第一番目

武田交来 (勝次郎) 編, 梅堂国政画 · 1881 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 18 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book published by Okura Magobei, compiled by Takeda Kōrai and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, likely aimed at general readers of popular theatre stories. The pages show woodblock-style prints of kabuki-like actors in costume with columns of kana text beside them, in bold black-and-white line work with patterned kimono and lattice backgrounds that a designer could draw on for graphic, high-contrast compositions.
