[絵本] 〔３２〕本朝廿四孝下

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 17 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Hisajiro and published in 1887, showing dramatic figures in patterned robes with columns of Japanese text beside them. The pictures are bold black-line prints with heavy outlines and dense, decorative textile patterns, useful to a designer for kimono-style motifs such as hexagonal tortoiseshell, cloud, and floral repeats, and for strong figure poses.
