[絵本] 〔33〕 十団子宇都谷峠 上

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, likely for general readers. Its pages pair woodblock-style figure drawings with dense columns of Japanese text, set in interiors with screens, bamboo, and sliding doors. The pictures show stylized robed figures in gestural poses, offering a designer rhythmic line work, bold black-and-white contrast, and text-image layouts that work well as graphic reference.
