沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 20 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Sawa Kyujiro, a chronicle of the life of the outlaw-hero Shirai Gonpachi in woodblock-printed pages. Its pictures show standing samurai and kimono-clad figures beside blocks of handwritten kana text, which a designer might take from for compact figure-and-caption layouts.
