[絵本] 〔２９〕蝶千鳥曽我仇討下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by him in 1885, likely for a general popular readership. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints of samurai in armour and courtly figures set beside columns of vertical Japanese text, with bold outlines, dense patterned textiles and armour, and tight panel framing a designer could draw on for graphic layout and strong figure silhouettes.
