[絵本] 〔１１〕 石川五右衛門

1890 · 綱島亀吉 · 7 pictures

An 1890 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Tsunashima Kamekichi, printed as woodblock-style illustrations with Japanese text panels and no clear record of its intended readership. The pictures show kabuki-style figures in patterned kimono, with some woodblock-like hatching, dense black ink areas, and calligraphic captions that a designer could use for historical Japanese graphic motifs.
