[絵本] 〔１〕 大江山酒呑童子

沢久次郎 編 · 1889 · 沢久次郎 · 11 pictures

An 1889 Japanese ehon picture book titled Ōe-yama Shuten-dōji, compiled and published by Sawa Hisajirō in Japan for general readers. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of kana text with action scenes of samurai, a lantern-lit interior, and a fierce demon with flaming clouds, showing bold black-and-white line work and tightly framed compositions a designer could borrow for dramatic panel layouts.
