[絵本] 〔２〕 十八ケ条問答

石川和助 編 · 1880 · 石川和助 · 12 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 2 of the Jūhachi kajō mondō, compiled by Ishikawa Wasuke and published by him, with woodblock-style prints of samurai and warriors fighting. The pictures are crude, high-contrast black-and-white ink drawings with dense Japanese text columns beside the figures, suggesting bold silhouettes, dramatic diagonal action poses, and the look of early Meiji popular print.
