[絵本] 〔１３〕 滝夜叉物語

牧金之助 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1888 · 金寿堂 · 5 pictures

An 1888 Japanese ehon picture book, the thirteenth volume of a series, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published by Kinjudō for a popular readership. Its woodblock-printed pages show dramatic scenes of a warrior and a sorceress with heavy black ink backgrounds, swirling smoke, and a patterned kimono; a designer might draw on the bold black-and-white contrast, the bursts of smoke and fire, and the rich textile patterns.
