[絵本] 〔11〕 安珍清姫譚 下

沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Sawa Kyujiro and published by him in 1887, printed in woodblock-style black line with Japanese text columns beside the scenes. The pictures show figures in kimono and armour in interiors and outdoors, drawn with clean contour lines and little shading, which a designer could take as a model for compact narrative panels that pair images with vertical text.
