[絵本] 〔1〕 伊達実記

綱島亀吉 編 · 1885 · 綱島亀吉 · 22 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Tsunashima Kamekichi and published in 1885, a popular illustrated book of historical tales for general readers. Its woodblock-style prints show seated courtly and samurai figures in patterned robes, indoors against screens and sliding panels, with the Japanese text set in panels beside the scenes. A designer might borrow the bold black-and-white hatching, the framing of figures within screens, and the text-and-image layout.
