[絵本] 〔３〕佐倉宗吾実伝記下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era (1885) Japanese picture book, an ehon edited by Onishi Shonosuke, published by Onishi, presenting a true-life account of the Sakura Sogoro peasant-uprising legend in woodblock-printed pages. The pictures are bold, sparsely shaded black-line woodcut panels with dense vertical Japanese text, showing samurai, peasants, and figures on wooden verandas and in rough outdoor settings, which a designer might take from for their strong figure silhouettes, clear panel framing, and hand-cut graphic energy.
