[絵本] 〔１〕国定忠次義名の高島初編上

川上謂一郎 (鼠辺) 編, 梅堂国政画 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Kinshodo, compiled by Kawakami Ichiro'o and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, offering woodblock-style scenes of samurai and townspeople with dense columns of text. The pictures show black-and-white figures in patterned kimono and tensely posed swordplay under pine branches, with the printed text woven around them, suggesting layouts that pair image with text and bold checked or striped textile patterns for designers.
