[絵本] 〔６〕小栗判官一代記下

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1884 · 小森宗次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon), volume six of the Oguri Hangan story, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku, illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, and published in 1884 by Komori Sojiro for a popular readership. Its woodblock pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with bold black-and-white scenes of samurai, a kimono-clad woman by a row of townhouses, and a bedside or courtyard confrontation, offering a designer strong graphic contrast, flowing kimono patterns, and compact figure groupings that frame text well.
