[絵本] 〔１６〕小栗判官一代記２編上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1885 by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, compiled as part of the Oguri Hangan story series for popular readers. The pages show a Japanese folk-romance narrative in woodcut panels with columns of printed text beside the figures. A designer could take from them the bold black linework, patterned kimono textures, and the dense interplay of calligraphic text and image.
