[絵本] 〔５〕仇討田宮坊太郎一代記２

辻岡文助編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 20 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book (volume 5, part 2 of a Tamiya Bōtarō revenge story) compiled and published by Tsujioka Bunsuke, aimed at general readers. Its woodblock-printed pages pair dense vertical columns of kana text with bold scenes of samurai in armour, seated confrontations, and fencing, a designer could take its heavy black linework, tight panel framing, and strong figure silhouettes.
