岩見英雄録 : 絵本復讐 7編3

乾坤亭東涯 著 · 1886 · 前川善兵衛等 · 6 pictures

This is a Meiji-era (1886) Japanese illustrated fiction volume, an ehon picture book issued by publisher Maekawa Zenbei and others, written by Kenkontei Tōgai, reproducing woodblock-style scenes of samurai revenge stories. The pictures show interiors with screens, samurai in formal dress, and garden settings with pines, rendered in bold black line and patterned textiles that a designer could borrow for graphic patterns and compositions.
