[絵本] 〔３〕 霜夜鐘十字辻筮 ２編中

武田交来 編, 大蘇芳年 画 · 1880 · 船津忠次郎 · 13 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1880, compiled by Takeda Kōrai with illustrations by Taiso Yoshitoshi and published by Funatsu Tadajirō in Tokyo for general readers of popular fiction. Its pictures are woodblock-style line illustrations of figures in kimono set against text-filled pages, with dense vertical Japanese columns framing each scene; a designer might borrow the bold black-and-white contrast, the calligraphic captions, and the dynamic poses of the figures.
