[絵本] 〔36〕 政談恋畦倉 下

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, printed as woodblock-style pages with columns of text beside the figures. The pages show samurai and townsfolk in dramatic poses, with bold black ink outlines and simple flat fills, offering a designer strong contrast, hatched and checked patterned robes, and compact figure groupings to borrow for graphic work.
