[絵本] 〔49〕 神崎与五郎誠忠伝 上

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, presenting the loyalty story of Kanzaki Yogorō in a sequence of black-and-white prints with calligraphic captions. The pictures show a samurai in patterned kimono and hakama in outdoor and interior scenes, with bold line work and dense hatching that a designer could use for strong graphic contrast and narrative panel layouts.
