絵本南総里見八犬伝 第1篇
This is a Japanese illustrated edition (ehon) of Takizawa Bakin's Nansō Satomi Hakkenden, volume 1, compiled by Bakin and published in 1909 by Kinkōdō, a reprint of Edo-period woodblock prints for a general Meiji reading public. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut-style scenes of samurai in interiors and gardens, with dense hatched patterns on robes, tatami and floors, and vertical columns of calligraphic captions; a designer might take its bold linework, dense pattern fills and panel-based storytelling layout.
