[絵本] 〔1〕 国定忠次義名の高島 3編 中

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

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book published by Kinmatsudō, compiled by Kawakami Ichirō'ichirō (pen name Sohen) and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, likely aimed at general readers of popular tales. Its woodblock pages pair crude figures in patterned kimono with dense columns of text, offering a designer bold black-and-white hatching, dynamic action poses and a compact manga-like page layout to borrow.
