[絵本] 〔５〕西遊記

沢久次郎編 · 1889 · 沢久次郎 · 22 pictures

An 1889 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon, volume 5 of a Saiyuki series) published by Sawa Hisajiro, printed in woodblock-style black line with Japanese text columns beside the scenes. Its pictures show the Monkey King and Tang monk Sanzang's pilgrimage through fantastical battles and encounters, drawn in bold outline with dense hatching and patterned robes a designer could use for dynamic, high-contrast graphic compositions.
