[絵本] 〔６〕碁太平記白石話宮城の信夫上

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1883 · 関根孝助 · 20 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) from 1883, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published by Sekine Kōsuke for a popular readership. The pages pair black-and-white figure scenes with dense columns of Japanese text running down the margins, and the figures are drawn in bold outline with patterned kimono and simple interior settings. A designer might take the dense text-and-image layout and the high-contrast patterned textiles as models for bold graphic composition.
