[絵本] 〔１９〕国定忠治実伝初編下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, likely for a general popular readership. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with full-bleed scenes of kneeling and seated figures in striped and patterned kimono. Designers may take its bold black linework, hatched striped garments, and crowded text-and-image layouts as models for period graphic composition.
