絵本稗史小説 第9集
A Japanese illustrated fiction volume (ehon) from 1919, published by Hakubunkan in Tokyo and aimed at general readers of popular historical tales. Its pictures are woodcut-style black-and-white scenes set in traditional interiors and verandas, with dense vertical columns of printed Japanese text running beside the images; a designer might borrow the bold line work, the tight framing of figures in kimono, and the way text and image share a page.
