絵本更科草紙 : 勇婦全伝 後編 巻之2
This is a Japanese illustrated fiction volume (ehon) from the Edo period, written by Kurikuteiki Ranran and illustrated by Ippōsai Bamaru, published by Okada Mohei for a popular readership. Its woodblock-printed pages show samurai and townspeople in interiors, a sake shop brawl, a riverbank fight and a formal palace scene, with dense black ink linework and sparse grey tone that a designer could borrow for bold graphic compositions and crowded action layouts.
