[絵本] 〔２７〕岩見重太郎一代記上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published in 1887, with woodblock-printed pages in Japanese text for a general popular readership. Its pictures show samurai heroes in dramatic poses, framed by columns of vertical kana text and pine branches, and a designer might take the bold black-and-white contrast, dense calligraphic text blocks, and tight figure compositions as models for graphic layout.
