[絵本] 〔4-1〕伊賀の上野仇討

牧金之助 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1886 · 牧金之助 · 8 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled Iga no Ueno Adauchi, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published by Maki Kinnosuke in Japan for a general readership. Its pages show a vendetta story in dense black-and-white woodblock-style line work, with crowded panels, handwritten Japanese text in columns, and compositions that frame figures against screens, shoji and painted panels, offering a designer strong examples of dense hatching, text-and-image layouts, and tight narrative staging.
