絵本大岡政談大全

1893 · 聚栄堂 · 30 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Ōoka seidan taizen, printed in 1893 by the Shūeidō publisher, a late-Meiji reprint of woodblock-style prints drawn from the Ōoka court-case stories. The pictures are black-and-white line scenes of Edo-period figures in interiors and gardens, with dense patterned kimono and strong figure-ground contrast a designer might borrow for pattern and silhouette.
