絵本曽我物語 8

一咲居士 編, 法橋中和 画 · 1883 · 東京金玉出版社 · 20 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated book (ehon) from 1883, published in Tokyo by Tokyo Kingyoku Shuppansha, with text compiled by Itsusai Koji and pictures by Hokkyo Chūwa, retelling the Soga legend for general readers. Its black-and-white woodblock-style scenes show rooftops, interiors, and figures in period dress, with clean outlines and dense patterned surfaces such as tiled roofs, tatami, and stone walls that a designer could adapt for line-based graphics.
