[絵本] 〔3〕 岩見豪傑物語 1

辻岡文助 編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1881 by Tsujioka Bunsuke, compiled as a volume of heroic tales of Iwami; its woodblock-style prints show samurai and warriors with dense columns of Japanese text beside them. The pictures suggest how a designer might borrow the bold, crowded layout of text and figure, along with the patterned kimono and armour textures.
