[絵本] 〔１９〕国定忠治実伝３編下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 19 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, likely for a general readership of popular fiction about the outlaw hero Kunisada Chūji. Its pages pair crude black-and-white figure scenes with dense columns of vertical Japanese text, and a designer might take the bold, flat linework, dramatic action poses and sweeping kimono patterns as material for graphic motifs.
