[絵本] 〔９〕尼子十勇士実伝

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 松延堂 · 16 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Matsunendo and compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, telling the legendary deeds of the Amago Ten Retainers for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pictures pair a densely printed column of text with a figure in each frame, showing samurai in patterned kimono and hakama, a seated lord, and a figure beside a torrent, with bold black ink outlines and hatched dark areas a designer could borrow for graphic compositions.
