[絵本] 〔１〕 冠の松真土の夜暴動 後編中

武田交来 編, 大蘇芳年 画 · 1880 · 船津忠次郎 · 10 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Takeda Kōrai and illustrated by Ōsō Yoshitoshi, published in 1880 by Funatsu Chūjirō in Japan for a general readership. The pages pair woodblock-style black-and-white prints with columns of Japanese text, showing swirling wind and wave bands, dramatic figures in motion, and samurai fighting. A designer might take the bold flowing line work of the wind and water, and the dynamic compositions of struggling figures framed by text blocks.
