辻岡文助 編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1881 by Tsujioka Bunsuke, retelling the life of the outlaw Ishikawa Goemon in woodblock-printed illustrations with kana and kanji text. The pictures show standing and seated figures in patterned robes beside columns of vertical text, which a designer could draw on for layout, pattern and the print-era composition of image and caption.
