[絵本] 〔１２〕佐野鹿十郎一代記下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1885 by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, telling the life story of Sano Shikajūrō in woodblock prints with surrounding kana text for a general readership. The four pictures show a warrior in patterned kimono with a drawn sword, a seated man in a formal room, a seated samurai in dark hakama receiving a visitor, and a fighter with a blade beneath a blossoming tree; a designer could draw on their bold black-and-white linework, dense geometric textile patterns and vertical text columns.
