絵本菅原天神記
An 1888 Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) compiled by Yamamoto Tsunejirō and published by Ryūsōdō, telling the Sugawara Tenjin legend for a general readership. Its pictures are black-and-white line illustrations with dense vertical columns of text, with bold ink masses and dramatic dark sky or water areas that a designer could draw on for high-contrast graphic patterns and calligraphic layouts.
