[絵本] 〔28〕 敵討白石噺 上

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 19 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) was compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, printed in woodblock-style black-and-white with kana text beside the figures. The pictures show costumed warriors and figures in striped and checked kimono, with cramped calligraphic captions that a designer might use for dense, rhythmic black-and-white patterning and vintage Japanese print texture.
