絵本二島英雄記 巻４
A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, volume four of a heroic tale, written by Hiraga Baisetsu and illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai for a popular readership, published by Okada Mohei. The pictures show samurai in interiors with folding screens, garden pines and rooftops, and a crowded wooden stage with fighting figures; a designer might take their dense hatched patterning, crisp ink line and the staggered panel layout that reads across the spread.
