岩見英雄録 : 絵本復讐 ６編６
This is a Meiji-era (1886) Japanese illustrated picture book, an ehon, written by Kenkōtei Tōgai and published by Maekawa Zenbei and others, likely for a general popular readership. The pictures are crisp black-and-white line drawings with bold solid blacks for hair, clothing and screens, showing samurai scenes in gardens, interiors and a tense confrontation. A designer might take strong figure silhouettes, patterned kimono and tiled textile motifs, and the clean ink contour style with plenty of white space.
