1890 · 関太市 · 8 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book of 1890, published by Seki Taichi, illustrating the Soga Monogatari, a medieval tale of vengeance, for a general readership. Its pictures are monochrome woodblock-style prints with ink-dot snow, rain hatching, and crisp figure outlines, showing a designer how economical black-and-white line work can carry costume, weather, and mood.
