[絵本] 〔４３〕赤穂義士村松三太夫伝下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 24 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, illustrating the Akō retainers' vendetta story for a general popular readership. Its woodblock-printed pages pair seated samurai figures in patterned hakama and kimono with columns of vertical Japanese text, offering designers a model of compact narrative layout, dense hatching, and clear figure-ground contrast in black and white.
