[絵本] 〔12〕 小栗判官一代記 下

辻岡文助 編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 19 pictures

This Japanese ehon picture book, published by Tsujioka Bunsuke in 1881, is a woodblock-printed popular narrative of the Oguri Hangan legend, issued for general readers. Its pictures are bold black-line woodblock prints with text columns set beside the figures, and a designer might borrow the strong calligraphic line, the patterned kimono textiles, and the compact panel layout that frames a figure with script.
