[絵本] 〔４１〕天保山浪花大塩上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, presenting a woodblock-printed account of the Osaka Oshio rebellion in dense text-and-image pages. The pages show seated and standing samurai and townsmen beside columns of vertical kana text, with cartouche labels naming the figures. A designer might take the strong black-and-white patterned textiles, the hatched geometric backgrounds, and the tight integration of block-cut text with figures.
