[絵本] 〔３〕岩見豪傑物語２

辻岡文助編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 22 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon), published by Tsujioka Bunsuke in 1881, presenting heroic tales of warriors with woodcut illustrations and columns of kana text. The pictures show samurai figures in dynamic poses, with patterned kimono and swords, set against simple backgrounds such as snowy landscapes and interiors. A designer could draw on the bold black-line figure work, the dense textual layouts framing images, and the patterned robe motifs.
