[絵本] 〔２〕 八百屋お七

宮田伊助 編 · 1881 · 宮田伊助 · 13 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Miyata Isuke in 1881 and published by Miyata Isuke, volume two of a set telling the Yaoya Oshichi story. The pages are monochrome woodblock-style line drawings with columns of Japanese text beside the figures, showing a seated samurai at a low table, a woman in a patterned kimono, and an older man in a room, suggesting strong black-and-white figure compositions and dense vertical text panels a designer could borrow for layout.
