[絵本] 〔６〕小栗判官一代記上

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1884 · 小森宗次郎 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1884, published by Komori Sojiro with text compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrations by Umedo Kunimasa, telling the life story of the legendary warrior Oguri Hangan in woodblock-printed pages mixing figures with columns of Japanese text. The pictures show bold black-and-white line work with dense hatching on robes and horses, and the framed text panels beside the figures suggest a layout approach for combining image and caption in editorial design.
