[絵本] 〔２７〕岩見重太郎一代記下

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, with text in Japanese characters and woodblock-style illustrations, likely aimed at general readers of popular adventure tales. The pages show warriors in striped and patterned robes, a figure on a rocky cliff, a seated woman with a sword and a sword-wielding fight, all in bold black line with dense calligraphic columns that a designer could use for dramatic action compositions and framing text blocks.
