[絵本] 〔17〕 青砥藤綱明政談 上

沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 18 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Sawa Kyujiro, a woodblock-style print book with text columns set around the figures, likely aimed at general readers of popular tales. The pictures show samurai in patterned kimono and hakama, a seated woman by a veranda with a blossoming tree, and a kimono-clad woman in a patterned robe, drawn in bold black line with hatched shading that a designer could use for strong graphic outlines and patterned textile motifs.
