[絵本] 〔26〕 堀部安兵衛三度之仇討 上

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 19 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Onishi Shonosuke, a woodblock-style print book with four full-page scenes of samurai and women, each framed by columns of kana text running down the page. Its black-and-white line work, dense patterned kimono textures and window screens offer a designer strong examples of Meiji-era graphic layout where image and text share the page.
