絵本曽我物語 第2編上
This is not allowed, so instead: An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Soga Monogatari volume 2 part 1, compiled by the scholar Ikkasai and published in Tokyo by Shibundō, aimed at general readers of the Meiji era. Its pictures are crisp black-and-white woodblock-style line drawings of samurai in armour, a warrior with a drawn sword on a walkway, and a figure beneath a moonlit willow, with clean contours and open white areas that suggest strong graphic compositions for bold line work, framed captions, and simplified ink-brush staging.
