[絵本] 〔８〕頼光一代記

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 松延堂 · 20 pictures

An 1885 Japanese ehon picture book titled Raikō Ichidai-ki, compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by Shōenkaidō in Tokyo for general readers of woodblock-era illustrated fiction. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints of a samurai hero in kimono and hakama, shown seated, striding with a staff, and kneeling beside a dark cave mouth, with vertical columns of kana text. A designer might take the bold line work, dense patterned textiles, and the vertical text panels as period reference for graphic layouts.
