[絵本] 〔２〕緑の松徳川日記初編下

鶴田真容編, 守川周重画 · 1879 · 小森宗次郎 · 23 pictures

A Japanese illustrated book (ehon) of 1879, compiled by Tsuruta Makana and illustrated by Morikawa Chikashige, published in Tokyo by Komori Sojiro for general readers of the Meiji period. Its woodblock-printed pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with scenes of samurai in palanquins, a seated lord receiving a visitor, and a costumed figure in a rich robe, all in strong black line with patterned textiles. A designer could take from these the bold graphic contrast of dense text blocks against pictorial vignettes and the decorative kimono patterning.
