[絵本] 〔１６〕岩見重太郎豪傑譚下

荒川吉五郎編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 19 pictures

An 1882 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Arakawa Kichigoro, volume 16 of a series retelling the exploits of the strongman Iwami Judan Shigetarō, aimed at a general readership. The pages pair woodblock-style figure prints of samurai in dark kimono and patterned hakama with dense columns of Japanese text, and a designer might take their bold black linework, patterned fabric motifs and strong figure poses as reference for graphic composition.
