[絵本] 〔16〕 桜田日記 下

辻岡文助 編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 19 pictures

A Japanese woodblock ehon picture book, compiled by Tsujioka Bunsuke and published in 1881, presumably for general readers of the period. Its pictures show samurai in armour and robes fighting with swords and conferring in interiors and on open ground, drawn in bold black outlines with dense columns of Japanese text beside them, offering a designer strong line-and-pattern models for armour, sword action and kimono textiles.
