狂言絵本筋書 : 当る初春開場式

1924 · 東政次郎 · 9 pictures

A 1924 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Higashi Masajiro, reproducing woodblock-style scenes of kabuki and theatre performance for a general audience of collectors and readers. The four pictures show crowded stage action with costumed actors in layered robes, samurai-style figures with swords, and kneeling attendants framed by sliding screens and wooden architecture. A designer might take their bold black-and-white ink contrast, dense crowd compositions, and patterned kimono textures as models for graphic layouts.
