天一坊物語 : 絵本実録
A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book of 1887 compiled by Murayama Ginjirō and published by him, a popular illustrated retelling of the Tenichibō tale, likely for general readers. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with figures in patterned kimono and hakama, shown in interiors with sliding screens, pine trees, and tatami; a designer might borrow the bold black linework, flat patterned textile fills, and the framing of text panels beside scenes.
