[絵本] 〔２〕曽我物語

牧金之助編 · 1885 · 牧金之助 · 28 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Maki Kinnosuke, retelling the Soga monogatari with woodblock-style scenes and columns of vertical text. The pictures show samurai and courtly figures in patterned robes and armour, with the story told in dense calligraphic captions set into the upper panels. A designer might take the bold black-and-white contrast, the framed panel layouts, and the patterned kimono and armour textures as graphic reference.
