[絵本] 〔３４〕小夜砧宇都谷峠上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by him in 1885, with text in columns surrounding each scene. The pages show seated figures in patterned kimono, a folding screen, a bamboo branch, and a spinning wheel, drawn in bold black outlines with simple flat fills. A designer could take the strong contour linework, the dense vertical text blocks framing the images, and the stencil-like patterning on the robes.
