[絵本] 〔１４〕 徳川家十五代記 前編 上

柳水亭種清 編 · 1882 · 小林鉄次郎 · 14 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Ryūsuitei Tanesei and published by Kobayashi Tetsujirō in 1882, aimed at general readers of popular history. The pages pair black-line woodcut scenes of samurai, interiors, pine-and-fence gardens and processions with columns of kana text; a designer might take their bold outline, dense patterned kimono textures, and compact vertical text-and-image layouts.
