[絵本] 〔１〕 小栗判官一代記

宮田伊助 編 · 1881 · 宮田伊助 · 7 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book, volume one of a life story of the hero Oguri Hangan, compiled and published by Miyata Isuke for popular readers. The woodblock-style pages pair vertical columns of kana text with bold black-and-white figures, and a designer could take their patterned kimono and armour, dense hatching and strong silhouettes as models for graphic composition.
