絵本忠義水滸伝 巻23-25
An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, volumes 23 to 25 of the Water Margin (Suikoden) tale of loyal heroes, compiled and annotated by Shimizu Ichijirō and published by him, aimed at general readers. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style fight scenes with dense hatched lines, bold outlines, and vertical Japanese labels beside the figures, offering a designer strong examples of crowded action composition, pattern-filled robes, and hand-lettered panel captions.
