[絵本] 〔１３〕弁慶一代記上

荒川吉五郎編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Arakawa Kichigorō and published by him in 1882, with its text in kana and kanji. Its woodblock-style illustrations show mountain landscapes, a kneeling warrior pair, and armoured figures reading a scroll, offering a designer a clear model of monochrome, bold-outlined narrative composition with figures set against sparse backgrounds.
