[絵本] 〔２２〕石川五右衛門真砂出立下

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 18 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon), issued in 1887 by the publisher Sawa Kyujiro, retells the legend of the outlaw Ishikawa Goemon in woodblock-printed pages with columns of text. Its pictures are bold black-line figure scenes with dense patterned kimono and hatched garments, offering a designer strong examples of graphic rhythm, texture contrast, and how text columns and figures share a single page.
