岩見英雄録 : 絵本復讐 ６編２
This is a Meiji-era (1886) Japanese illustrated book, an ehon picture book of the revenge-story genre by the writer Kentei-tei Tōgai, printed in Tokyo by the publisher Maekawa Zenbei and aimed at popular readers. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style line drawings of interiors with tatami floors, sliding screens and figures in kimono and samurai dress, with text columns in Japanese above. A designer could take from them the strong pattern of screens, floor-grid perspective and ink-line economy of late Edo-derived print design.
