[絵本] 〔１〕松前屋政談１号

宮田伊助編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 23 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Miyata Isuke and published in 1882, presenting a serialized story in woodblock-style prints with columns of text beside the scenes. The pictures show samurai in formal dress with swords, seated on a raised wooden platform and in tense confrontations, drawn in bold black ink outlines with patterned striped and kimono textiles. A designer might take the strong graphic contrast of solid black garments against white, the dense vertical text panels, and the dynamic diagonal poses of the fighting figures.
