[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 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1881, published by Ōkura Magobei, with woodblock illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa and text compiled by Takeda Kōrai, made for a general popular readership. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints of seated and standing figures in kimono, set against folding screens, shoji lattice and bamboo, with dense vertical Japanese text beside them; a designer might borrow their stark line work, patterned textiles and tight vertical text columns.
