[絵本] 〔３１〕櫓太鼓恵達引下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 17 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book of 1885, compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by Ōnishi himself, with woodblock-style pages that mix small columns of kana text with action scenes. The pictures show armoured fighters wielding staves, swords and spears in dynamic, crowded compositions, offering a designer strong examples of bold black-and-white line work, dense hatching on patterned robes, and figures set against loose, open backgrounds.
