[絵本] 〔５〕 為朝一代記

堤吉兵衛 編 · 1889 · 堤吉兵衛 · 12 pictures

An 1889 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, telling the life story of the warrior Tametomo in woodblock-printed pages for a general popular readership. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints with dense hatched textures, bold silhouettes of waves and rocks, and patterned kimono; a designer might borrow their strong contrast, ink-line energy and graphic patterning of cloth and water.
