An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, volume five, titled Tenka Chaya Adauchi, compiled by Kodama Yashichi and published by Ohashido, showing revenge-drama scenes in woodblock-style line art. The pictures show swordsmen in patterned kimono and hakama, with dense vertical Japanese text panels framing the figures, giving a designer strong examples of bold contour line, geometric textile patterns and text-image layout.
