歌舞伎脚本傑作集 第1巻

坪内逍遥, 渥美清太郎 編 · 1921 · 春陽堂 · 7 pictures

A 1921 Japanese anthology of kabuki plays, edited by Tsubouchi Shōyō and Atami Seitarō and published by Shunyōdō, presented as a collection of stage scripts with woodblock-style illustrations of actors and scenes. The pictures show standing and kneeling figures in striped kimono, a seated man with a fan beside bamboo, and interior scenes with paper screens and low tables, offering a designer strong examples of Japanese monochrome figure composition and sparse interior staging.
