[絵本] 〔４５〕赤穂義士大高源吾伝上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 22 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, presenting the Ako retainers' story of Ōtaka Gengo in woodblock-printed pages with kana and kanji text. The pictures show seated samurai and townspeople in tight black-line woodcut style, with the text set in columns beside the figures; a designer could take its dense panel layouts and vertical text blocks as a model for compact, narrative page design.
