絵本佐野義勇伝
An 1888 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Nakamura Yoshimatsu, whose title and captions identify it as a collection of heroic tales. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of samurai and townspeople, with bold outlines, patterned kimono, and dynamic sword fight poses a designer could draw on for patterns and graphic compositions.
