[絵本] 〔１２〕佐野鹿十郎一代記上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book (1885) compiled by Shōnosuke Ōnishi and published by him, with woodblock-style illustrations of samurai and street scenes set among columns of Japanese text. The pictures show dramatic swordplay and stylised costume, and a designer might borrow their bold black-and-white linework, dense text-and-image layouts and staged, theatrical poses.
