荒川吉五郎編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 19 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Arakawa Kichigoro and published by him, telling the life story of a samurai swordsman in woodblock-style line drawings with columns of kana text. The pictures show lean, sharply inked warriors in patterned kimono with swords drawn, set against lattice fences and interiors, with the vertical text blocks giving a strong layout model for designers.
