[絵本] 〔５〕越後伝吉一代記下

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1883 · 関根孝助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1883, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published by Sekine Kōsuke for popular readers. Its woodblock-style pages pair a bold figure scene with columns of Japanese text, and a designer might take their dense black-and-white linework, hatched patterned backgrounds, and text-and-image layout as a model for compact narrative panels.
