[絵本] 〔１１〕慶安正雪一代記上

荒川吉五郎編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 15 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Arakawa Kichigorō and published by him, a popular woodblock-printed narrative for a general readership, here presenting the life of the rebel Yui Shōsetsu. The pages show bold black-line woodcut scenes with calligraphic text columns running around the images, offering a designer strong graphic contrast, dense hatched patterning on robes, and a compact vertical page layout to borrow.
