絵本更科草紙 : 勇婦全伝 巻之2
This is a Japanese illustrated fiction volume (ehon) from the Edo period, a volume two of the Sarashina sōshi tale of brave women, written by Kuritsuetei Kiran and illustrated by Ippōsai Baen, published by Okada Mohei. The four pictures show a woman seated by a river and a rustic landscape, armed warriors fighting in a wooded pass, a swordsman among bamboo, and a figure with attendants on a veranda, all in dense black-line woodblock style with calligraphic captions in the margins.
