[絵本役割] 明治２０年６月刊

斎藤長八編 · 1887 · 斎藤長八 · 15 pictures

A Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) compiled by Saitō Chōhachi and published in Tokyo in 1887, a Meiji-period print. The pictures show crowded, stylised figures in armour and kimono, with bold black outlines, patterned crests and kana captions set in the margins, so a designer might take its dense, graphic linework, repeated family-crest motifs and boldly simplified crowd compositions.
