[絵本] 〔８〕仮名手本忠臣蔵下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by him in 1885, printed as woodblock-style black-and-white illustrations with columns of kana-and-kanji text. The pictures show dramatic kabuki-style scenes from the Chūshingura story, with richly patterned robes and bold black ink silhouettes that a designer could draw on for graphic pattern and dramatic figure composition.
