[絵本] 〔３〕 霜夜鐘十字辻筮 初編中

武田交来 編, 大蘇芳年 画 · 1880 · 船津忠次郎 · 9 pictures

An 1880 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) compiled by Takeda Koraku and illustrated by Yoshitoshi Taiso, published by Funatsu Tadajiro, aimed at general readers of the Meiji period. Its pages pair woodblock-printed text columns with bold black-and-white scenes of figures in period dress, drawn with energetic line and hatching that a designer could borrow for dynamic compositions and text-image layouts.
