[絵本] 〔9〕 筑紫潟箱崎文庫 下

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) edited by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, its woodblock-style prints show samurai-era warriors in dynamic poses with dense vertical columns of Japanese text. Designers can draw on the bold black linework, patterned kimono motifs such as cloud and flower repeats, and the way figures are framed by calligraphic captions.
