[絵本] 〔４３〕赤穂義士村松三太夫伝上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by him in 1885, telling the story of the Akō retainer Muramatsu Sandayū for a popular readership. The pages are black-and-white woodblock-style prints with dense vertical kana text beside framed scenes. Designers can take the compact panel layouts, the calligraphic text columns set around the figures, and the stylized patterned robes and stone-and-sea backdrops.
