This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1885 by Shōnosuke Ōnishi, a woodblock-style vengeance tale with text columns beside each scene. The pictures show samurai and townspeople in kimono, with bold black line work and dense kana text, offering a designer strong examples of vernacular Japanese woodblock layout, figure silhouettes and patterned textile motifs.
