[絵本] 〔１〕森三勇士伝中

周春画 · 1882 · 沢村屋清吉 · 15 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1882 by Sawamuraya Seikichi, with illustrations by Shū Shun, likely for a general popular readership. The woodblock-printed pages mix small-scale figure scenes with dense columns of kana text, and the line work is loose and graphic. A designer might take from them the compact, narrative panel layout and the bold black-and-white contrast of hatched robes and hair against open paper.
