[絵本] 〔17〕 青砥藤綱明政談 下

沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Sawa Kyujiro, a woodblock-printed popular edition with Japanese text columns beside the images. Its sheets show a robed figure kneeling in a patterned kimono, a shaven-headed monk seated before a hanging scroll, a samurai in armour with swords, and a pine-branch garden scene, giving a designer dense, hand-cut line work and patterned textile motifs to draw on for graphic compositions.
