[絵本] 〔８〕赤穂義士伝

児玉弥七編 · 1884 · 大橋堂 · 16 pictures

An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book titled Akō Gishi-den, compiled by Kodama Yahichi and published by Ōhashidō, with woodblock-printed pages of samurai and courtly scenes framed by columns of calligraphic text. The illustrations are bold black-line woodcuts with patterned kimono and hakama, and a designer might borrow their dense graphic linework, decorative textile patterns, and the way narrative text and image share a page.
