一咲居士 編 · 1886 · 荒川藤兵衛 · 20 pictures

An illustrated Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Issaku Koji and published in 1886 by Arakawa Tōbei, retelling the Soga brothers' vendetta tale for general readers. The woodblock-style prints show armoured warriors, a seated figure beneath a pine, and a tense interior scene, offering a designer strong black-and-white linework, dense patterned textiles, and bold figure silhouettes in a historical Japanese manner.
