[絵本] 〔６〕近世雪桜田

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 18 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from 1885, compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by him, with its pages captioned in columns of kana and kanji text. The pictures show swordsmen in mid-action, drawn in simple black outline with hatched patterned kimono and rippling water, a plain graphic approach a designer could borrow for bold silhouettes and line work.
