[絵本] 〔14〕 徳川家十五代記 前編 下

柳水亭種清 編 · 1882 · 小林鉄次郎 · 16 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ryūsuitei Tanesei and published by Kobayashi Tetsujirō in 1882, a woodblock-style print book of Tokugawa family history for general readers. The pictures are black-and-white ink line illustrations with dense vertical Japanese text columns beside figures in formal kimono and hakama, showing seated court scenes, processions, and a dog-and-attendant scene, offering a designer strong examples of late-Edo ukiyo-e-derived line drawing, tight text-image layouts, and crest (mon) motifs.
