[絵本] 〔４〕佐野八ツ橋吉原百人切下

山村清助編 · 1885 · 堤吉兵衛 · 20 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) in the 'Sano Yatsubashi Yoshiwara Hyakunin Giri' series, compiled by Yamamura Seisuke and published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, meant for popular readers. Its woodblock-style pictures show seated and standing figures in patterned kimono within interiors, with dense vertical Japanese text columns and captions beside them; a designer might take its bold striped textile patterns, compact figure poses and text-and-image layouts.
