[絵本] 〔７〕菅原天神記１号

永島福太郎編, 孟斎芳虎画 · 1880 · 堤吉兵衛 · 19 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, illustrated by Hōsai Yoshitora and compiled by Nagashima Fukutarō, and aimed at general readers of popular picture books. Its pages pair bold woodblock figures of kabuki-style actors and courtly characters in patterned robes with dense columns of Japanese text, with lattice, pine, and floral motifs at the margins that a designer could borrow for graphic patterning.
