An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, printed in woodblock-style black line art with explanatory text columns beside each scene. Its pictures show samurai figures from the Akō incident tale, rendered in bold, angular linework with patterned kimono and cloud-motif backgrounds, offering a designer strong examples of graphic figure silhouettes, dense pattern fills, and text-and-image page layout.
