[絵本] 〔３４〕 敵討裏見葛葉

沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 7 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published in 1887, with woodblock-style prints of samurai and vendetta scenes set between columns of kana-script text. The pages pair dense vertical text with bold black-and-white figures, so a designer could take from them the strong silhouettes, patterned kimono textures, and framing of image against text.
