絵本柳荒美談
An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) with Japanese title text, published by Miyagawa Tokutarō, compiled by an unnamed editor and likely aimed at a general reading public. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of samurai in tense outdoor scenes, with dense calligraphic text columns filling the backgrounds, offering a designer strong ink-line figure work, patterned kimono textures, and bold layouts with framing cartouches.
