[絵本] 〔１１〕岩見重太郎一代記下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1885 by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, retelling the tale of the warrior Iwami Jūtarō in its second volume for a general popular readership. The four pictures show dense, ink-line figure compositions with swordsmen in armoured or patterned robes, each framed by vertical columns of Japanese text and bold caption cartouches, offering a designer strong examples of dynamic action layout and integrated text-image panels.
